warbleR (version 1.1.31)

gaps: Gap duration

Description

gaps measures gap duration

Usage

gaps(X = NULL, by = "sound.files", parallel = 1, pb = TRUE)

Value

A data frame identical to that supplied in 'X', with and additional column ('gaps') with the duration of the time interval between selections.

Arguments

X

'selection_table', 'extended_selection_table' (created 'by.song') or data frame with the following columns: 1) "sound.files": name of the sound files, 2) "selec": number of the selections, 3) "start": start time of selections, 4) "end": end time of selections.

by

Character vector with column names. Controls the levels at which gaps will be measured. "sound.files" must always be included.

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).

pb

Logical argument to control progress bar and messages. Default is TRUE.

Details

The function measures the time intervals (i.e. gaps) between selections. The gap for a given selection is calculated as the time interval to the selection immediately after. Hence, there is no gap for the last selection in a sound file (or level determined by the 'by' argument). Gap is set to 0 when selections overlap in time. Note that the sound files are not required.
