About

A modular and extendable approach to extract (micro)saccades from gaze samples via an ensemble of methods. Although there is an agreement about a general definition of a saccade, the more specific details are harder to agree upon. Therefore, there are numerous algorithms that extract saccades based on various heuristics, which differ in the assumptions about velocity, acceleration, etc. The package uses three methods (Engbert and Kliegl (2003) doi:10.1016/S0042-6989(03)00084-1, Otero-Millan et al. (2014)doi:10.1167/14.2.18, and Nyström and Holmqvist (2010) doi:10.3758/BRM.42.1.188) to label individual samples and then applies a majority vote approach to identify saccades. The package includes three methods but can be extended via custom functions. It also uses a modular approach to compute velocity and acceleration from noisy samples. Finally, you can obtain methods votes per gaze sample instead of saccades.

Install

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

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

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

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("alexander-pastukhov/saccadr")

Development version from alexander-pastukhov/saccadr. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

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-saccadr

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-saccadr

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-saccadr

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