A parametric approach to study circadian rhythmicity assuming cosinor shape.This function is a whole dataset
wrapper for ActCosinor
.
ActCosinor_long2(count.data, window = 1)
data.frame
of dimension n * (p+2) containing the
p dimensional activity data for all n subject days.
The first two columns have to be ID and Day. ID can be
either character
or numeric
. Day has to be numeric
indicating
the sequence of days within each subject.
The calculation needs the window size of the data. E.g window = 1 means each epoch is in one-minute window.
A data.frame
with the following 5 columns
ID
number of days
MESRO, which is short for midline statistics of rhythm, which is a rhythm adjusted mean. This represents mean activity level.
amplitude, a measure of half the extend of predictable variation within a cycle. This represents the highest activity one can achieve.
acrophase, a meaure of the time of the overall high values recurring in each cycle. Here it has a unit of radian. This represents time to reach the peak.
acrophase in the unit of the time (hours)
Number of days modeled
