incR_procdata

A dataset containing temperatures, time and date for a blue tit nest. 
It also includes variables added by <code>incRprep</code> 
and <code>incRenv</code>.
The raw data set <code>incR_rawdata</code>
was produced by an iButton device (Maxim) and represents raw data to start the analysis
of incubation behaviour

datasets

Suite of functions to study animal incubation.
At the core of incR
lies an algorithm that allows for the scoring of
incubation behaviour. Additionally, several functions
extract biologically relevant metrics of incubation such as off-bout number
and off-bout duration - for a review of avian incubation studies,
