scbursts (version 1.6)

segment.create: Create a "segment" object

Description

This is a low-level function, mostly for use internally by other functions. There aren't many reasons to use this. Create object containing table data and metadata. The object can be used as a dataframe, and the metadata can be accessed with the functions: segment.seg, segment.start_time, segment.filename

Usage

segment.create(states, dwells, seg = 1, start_time = 0,
  name = "burst", ignore_errors = FALSE)

Arguments

states

a vector of states

dwells

a vector of dwell durations (same length as states)

seg

The segment number. Defaults to 1

start_time

When the dwells began. Defaults to 0

name

Suffix-less version of the original filename. 60uM.dwt -> '60uM'

ignore_errors

Do not report faulty segments (not many reasons to do this)

Value

The segment object: A dataframe with extra metadata.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# It's more likely that you created states or dwells with some function
states  <-  c(0,      1,    0,    1,    0,    1,    0,    1,    0,    1)
dwells  <-  c(0.1,  1.1,  0.5,  0.2,  1.0,  1.1,  0.6,  1.1,  0.8,  1.1)
my_burst <- segment.create(states, dwells, seg=1, start_time=0, name="example_segment")

segment.name(my_burst)

# }
