A helper function for extracting the first date of entry of (of one or all participant) of one
sensor. Note that this function is specific to the first date of a sensor. After all, it
wouldn't make sense to extract the first date for a participant of the accelerometer, while the
first device measurement occurred a day later.
Usage
first_date(db, sensor, participant_id = NULL)
Value
A string in the format 'YYYY-mm-dd' of the first entry date.
Arguments
db
A database connection to an m-Path Sense database.
sensor
The name of a sensor. See sensors for a list of available
sensors.
participant_id
A character string identifying a single participant. Use
get_participants to retrieve all participants from the database.
Leave empty to get data for all participants.
