Format continuous data

Usage

formASRcont(contdat, tz = "Etc/GMT+5")

Arguments

contdat

tz

character string of time zone for the date and time columns, defaults to Etc/GMT+5 (Eastern time zone, no daylight savings). See OlsonNames() for acceptable time zones.

Value

A formatted data frame of the continuous data

Details

This function is used internally within readASRcont to format the input data for downstream analysis. The formatting includes:

  • Combine Date and Time columns (separate column format only): The Time column is parsed flexibly using lubridate::parse_date_time() (accepting 24-hour, 12-hour AM/PM, and Excel-prefixed formats) and reformatted to HH:MM:SS before being united with Date into a single DateTime column, which is then converted to POSIXct using parse_date_time() with year-first, month-first, and day-first date orders.

  • Convert DateTime to POSIXct (combined column format only): The DateTime column is parsed flexibly using lubridate::parse_date_time() with year-first, month-first, and day-first date orders combined with 24-hour and 12-hour AM/PM time formats, and converted to POSIXct with the specified time zone.

  • Convert non-numeric columns to numeric: Converts all columns except DateTime to numeric if they are not already.

Examples

contpth <- system.file('extdata/ExampleCont1.xlsx', package = 'AquaSensR')

contdat <- utilASRimportcont(contpth)

formASRcont(contdat)
