Overview

About

Maintained by Leena ChoiFirst published 2010-09-154 releasesCRAN page ↗

It provides a function "wearingMarking" for classification of monitor wear and nonwear time intervals in accelerometer data collected to assess physical activity. The package also contains functions for making plot for accelerometer data and obtaining the summary of various information including daily monitor wear time and the mean monitor wear time during valid days. "deliveryPred" and "markDelivery" can classify days for ActiGraph delivery by mail; "deliveryPreprocess" can process accelerometry data for analysis by zeropadding incomplete days and removing low activity days; "markPAI" can categorize physical activity intensity level based on user-defined cut-points of accelerometer counts. It also supports importing ActiGraph AGD files with "readActigraph" and "queryActigraph" functions.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("PhysicalActivity", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-physicalactivity

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-PhysicalActivity

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-PhysicalActivity

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
