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
