timeordered (version 0.9.6)

randomizetimes: Resamples data based on event time.

Description

Produces a new event list from an existing event list with resampled event times given certain constraints on randomization. Effectively re-orders pairs of start/stop times between different vertices.

Usage

randomizetimes(raw, withinvertexfrom, byvertexfrom, withreplacement)

Arguments

raw

A raw event list to be resampled. Contains four columns: VertexFrom, VertexTo, TimeStart, TimeStop

withinvertexfrom

If true, resamples within data subsets where VertexFrom is fixed; otherwise resamples within all data.

byvertexfrom

If true, subsets of data for withinvertexfrom are obtained using VertexFrom; if false, using VertexTo.

withreplacement

Samples with or without replacement.

Value

• An event list of the same size as raw with event times resampled. Resampling does not break the relationship between start and stop time; i.e. resampled events will have the same duration as original events.

Examples

data(ants)
allindivs <- c(union(ants$VertexFrom, ants$VertexTo), "NULL1", "NULL2")
rt <- randomizetimes(ants,withinvertexfrom=TRUE,byvertexfrom=TRUE,withreplacement=TRUE)
g <- generatetonetwork(rt, allindivs)
