Dear R-users, We are monitoring the activity of animals during a few days period. The data from each animal (crossing of infra-red beam) are collected as a time series (in 30 min bins). An example is attached below.
y <- c(0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,3,28,27,46,76,77,60,19,35,55,59,48 ,87,20,38,82,62,60,85,105,69,109,102,100,101,116,126,119,63,27,25,15,8,0 ,0,3,0,0,3,0,0,5,3,0,0,6,1,29,73,56,56,57,92,34,51,30,76,30,38,47,87,22, 0,68,76,94,101,119,114,115,111,116,134,125,76,23,19,30,2,8,0,3,0,0,0,7,0 ,0,0,0,4,0,7,0,21,4,49,51,56,43,55,55,34,48,16,0,61,22,94,63,102,47,100, 96,113,93,109,123,120,124,115,94,96,76,36,3,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,5,0,0,0,0,2,10 ,33,34,15,0,47,22,20,33,52,4,41,45,0,21,18,38,32,21,78,82,72,102,103,118 ,116,118,114,82,18,5,21,4,0,14,0,5,2,0,0,2,2,0,0,3,0,2,7,16,13,17,50,0,4 8,16,19,34,39,33,3,67,0,68,34,65,84,61,100,85,108,124,141,139,134,96,54, 91,54,12,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,4,11,0,19,27,15,12,20) We would like to have an automatic way, using R, to identify the time point of offset of each bout of activity (i.e. when activity goes down to a minimum value, for a defined duration). In the example above the offset times (the element number) should be approximately: 53, 99, 146, 191, 239, 283, 330 (the last bout of activity can be ignores). Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated, Many thanks, Eran Eran Tauber (PhD) Lecturer in Molecular Evolution Dept. of Genetics University of Leicester University Rd, Leicester LE1 7RH England ____________________________________________________________ Phone: 44 (0)116 252-3455, 252-3421 (lab) Fax: 44 (0)116 252-3378 www.le.ac.uk/genetics/et22 ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
