by_element_est: Convert a by-song extended selection table to by-element

Description

by_element_est converts a by-song extended selection table to by-element.

Usage

by_element_est(X, mar = 0.1, pb = FALSE, parallel = 1)

Value

A 'by element' extended selection table (see selection_table).

Arguments

X

object of class 'extended_selection_table' (see selection_table).

mar

Numeric vector of length 1 specifying the margins (in seconds) adjacent to the start and end points of the selections when creating the ''by element' extended selection table. Default is 0.1.

pb

Logical argument to control progress bar. Default is FALSE.

parallel

Numeric. Controls whether parallel computing is applied. It specifies the number of cores to be used. Default is 1 (i.e. no parallel computing).
