Splits the values of a response into subsets corresponding
individuals and applies a function that calculates a single
value from each individual's observations during a specified
time interval. It includes the ability to calculate the
observation number that is closest to the calculated value of
the function and the assocated values of a factor or
numeric.
Note: this function is soft deprecated and may be removed in
future versions.
Use byIndv4Intvl_ValueCalc.
intervalValueCalculate(response, weights=NULL, individuals = "Snapshot.ID.Tag",
FUN = "max", which.obs = FALSE, which.values = NULL,
times = "Days", start.time=NULL, end.time=NULL,
suffix.interval=NULL, data, sep=".", na.rm=TRUE, ...)A data.frame, with the same number of rows as there are
individuals, containing a column for the individuals and
a column with the values of the function for the individuals.
It is also possible to determine observaton numbers or the values of
another column in data for the response values that are
closest to the FUN results, using either or both of
which.obs and which.values. If which.obs is
TRUE, a column with observation numbers is included in the
data.frame.
If which.values is set to the name of a factor or
a numeric,a column containing the levels of that
factor or the values of that numeric is
included in the data.frame.
The name of the column with the values of the function will be result of
concatenating the response, FUN and, if it is not
NULL, suffix.interval, each separated by a full stop.
If which.obs is TRUE, the column name for the obervations
numbers will have .obs added after FUN into the column name
for the function values; if which.values is specified,
the column name for these values will have a full stop followed by
which.values added after FUN into the column name
for the function values.
A character giving the name of the column in
data from which the values of FUN are to be calculated.
A character giving the name of the column in
data containing the weights to be supplied as w
to FUN.
A character giving the name of the
factor that defines the subsets of the data
for which each subset corresponds to the response values for
an individual (e.g. plant, pot, cart, plot or unit).
A character giving the name of the function
that calculates the value for each subset.
A logical indicating whether or not to determine
the observation number corresponding to the observed value that is
closest to the value of the function, in addition to the value of
the function itself. That is, FUN need not return an observed
value of the reponse, e.g. quantile.
A character giving the name of the
factor or numeric whose values are
associated with the response values and whose value is to be
returned for the observation number whose response value
corresponds to the observed value closest to the value of the
function. That is, FUN need not return an observed value of
the reponse, e.g. quantile. In the case of multiple
observed response values satisfying this condition, the value of
the which.values vector for the first of these is
returned.
A character giving the name of the column in
data containing the times at which the data was
collected, either as a numeric, factor, or
character. It will be used in calculating growth rates and,
if a factor or character, the values should
be numerics stored as characters.
A numeric giving the times,
in terms of levels of times.factor, that will give a
single value for each Snapshot.ID.Tag and that will
be taken as the observation at the start of the interval for
which a value is to be calculated. If
start.time is NULL, the interval will start
with the first observation. In the case of multiple
observed response values satisfying this condition, the first is
returned.
A numeric giving the times,
in terms of levels of times.factor, that will give a
single value for each Snapshot.ID.Tag and that will be
taken as the observation at the end of the interval for which
a value is to be calculated. If end.time is
NULL, the interval will end with the last observation.
A character giving the suffix to be
appended to response to form the
name of the column containing the calculated values. If it is
NULL then nothing will be appended.
A data.frame containing the column from which the
function is to be calculated.
A logical indicating whether NA values
should be stripped before the calculation proceeds.
A character giving the separator to use when the
levels of individuals are combined. This is needed to avoid
using a character that occurs in a factor to delimit
levels when the levels of individuals are combined to
identify subsets.
allows for arguments to be passed to FUN.
