extract_ts: Extract time series parameters from data imported from 'Raven'

Description

extract_ts extracts time series parameters from data imported from 'Raven' bioacoustic software.

Usage

extract_ts(X, ts.column, equal.length = FALSE, as.time.series = FALSE, 
length.out = 30, parallel = 1, pb = TRUE)

Value

A data frame with columns for sound file name (sound.files), selection label (selec) and the time series for each selection.

Arguments

X

Data frame imported from Raven. It should include at least columns for: sound file names, selection labels, a parameters encoded as a time series (e.g. several numbers separated by semicolon)

ts.column

Name of the column with the time series data to be extracted. Default is NULL.

equal.length

Logical. Controls whether time series are kept as in the original data (most of the time with unequal lengths) or numbers are interpolated to equalize series length (using the approx function). All series will be interpolated to match the length of the longest series in the data. Default is FALSE.

as.time.series

Logical. Controls if data is converted to the time series format (using the as.ts function). Default is FALSE.

length.out

A numeric vector of length 1 giving the number of measurements to be interpolated (the length of the time series). default is 30. Ignored if equal.length is FALSE.

parallel

Numeric. Controls whether parallel computing is applied. It specifies the number of cores to be used. Default is 1 (i.e. no parallel computing).

pb

Logical argument to control progress bar. Default is TRUE.

Details

The function extracts parameters encoded as time series in 'Raven' selection files. The resulting data frame can be directly input into functions for time series analysis of acoustic signals as freq_DTW.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
# Load data
data(selection_files)

#save 'Raven' selection tables in the temporary directory 
writeLines(selection_files[[5]], con = file.path(tempdir(), names(selection_files)[5]))

# import data to R
rvn.dat <- imp_raven(all.data = TRUE, path = tempdir())

# Peak freq dif length
extract_ts(X = rvn.dat, ts.column = "Peak Freq Contour (Hz)")

# Peak freq equal length
extract_ts(X = rvn.dat, ts.column = "Peak Freq Contour (Hz)", equal.length = T)
 
# Peak freq equal length 10 measurements
extract_ts(X = rvn.dat, ts.column = "Peak Freq Contour (Hz)", 
equal.length = TRUE, length.out = 10)
