PhysActBedRest (version 1.1)
Marks Periods of 'Bedrest' in Actigraph Accelerometer Data
Description
Contains a function to categorize accelerometer readings collected in free-living (e.g., for 24 hours/day for 7 days), preprocessed and compressed as counts (unit-less value) in a specified time period termed epoch (e.g., 1 minute) as either bedrest (sleep) or active. The input is a matrix with a timestamp column and a column with number of counts per epoch. The output is the same dataframe with an additional column termed bedrest. In the bedrest column each line (epoch) contains a function-generated classification 'br' or 'a' denoting bedrest/sleep and activity, respectively. The package is designed to be used after wear/nonwear marking function in the 'PhysicalActivity' package. Version 1.1 adds preschool thresholds and corrects for possible errors in algorithm implementation.
