ActiLife software generates activity counts from data collected by Actigraph accelerometers https://s3.amazonaws.com/actigraphcorp.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/26205758/ActiGraph-White-Paper_What-is-a-Count_.pdf. Actigraph is one of the most common research-grade accelerometers. There is considerable research validating and developing algorithms for human activity using ActiLife counts. Unfortunately, ActiLife counts are proprietary and difficult to implement if researchers use different accelerometer brands. The code creates ActiLife counts from raw acceleration data for different accelerometer brands and it is developed based on the study done by Brond and others (2017) doi:10.1249/MSS.0000000000001344.

# 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

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-activityCounts

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-activityCounts

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