A template function that gets the data from a file and converts it to a dark object for use by other scripts. The script can be modified to format the data. A dark object has time data in minutes and thresholds in log units. If the data have been collected in other units then the script should convert them.
The script defaults to returning data generated by TestData.
Usage
GetData(path, .....)
Arguments
path
This is the location of the data and will usually be a file path string.
.....
This can be any other values that might be needed to identify the data, e.g. subject number or study reference.
Value
A dark object with at least two elements
timethe time elapsed after measurements begin in minutes
thrsthe thresholds recorded in log units
other possible values include
datathe name of the data source
initinitial estimates of the optimal model parameters
optoptimal estimates of the optimal model parameters
residthe residuals of the data for an optimal model
...others to be added
Details
This script can be altered in any way desired and then saved with a different name. I suggest the format `GetData....R`, where the ellipsis describes the data in some way.
