LightLogR (version 0.3.8)

midpointCE: Midpoint of cumulative light exposure.

Description

This function calculates the timing corresponding to half of the cumulative light exposure within the given time series.

Usage

midpointCE(Light.vector, Time.vector, na.rm = FALSE, as.df = FALSE)

Value

Single column data frame or vector.

Arguments

Light.vector

Numeric vector containing the light data.

Time.vector

Vector containing the time data. Can be POSIXct, hms, duration, or difftime.

na.rm

Logical. Should missing values be removed for the calculation? If TRUE, missing values will be replaced by zero. Defaults to FALSE.

as.df

Logical. Should the output be returned as a data frame? If TRUE, a data frame with a single column named midpointCE will be returned. Defaults to FALSE.
