diveStats {diveMove}R Documentation

Per-dive statistics

Description

Calculate dive statistics in TDR records.

Usage

diveStats(x)
getDive(x, interval, vel=FALSE)
stampDive(x, ignoreZ=TRUE)

Arguments

x a TDRcalibrate-class object for diveStats and stampDive. a data frame containing a single dive's data.
interval sampling interval for interpreting x.
vel logical; should velocity statistics be calculated?
ignoreZ logical indicating whether trips should be numbered considering all aquatic activities (“W” and “Z”) or ignoring “Z” activities.

Details

diveStats calculates various dive statistics based on time and depth for an entire TDR record. getDive obtains these statistics from a single dive, and stampDive stamps each dive with associated trip information.

Value

A data.frame with one row per dive detected (durations are in s, and linear variables in m):

begdesc a chron object, specifying the start time of each dive.
enddesc chron object, as begdesc indicating descent's end time.
begasc chron object, as begdesc indicating the time ascent began.
desctim descent duration of each dive.
botttim bottom duration of each dive.
asctim ascent duration of each dive.
descdist numeric vector with descent depth.
bottdist numeric vector with the sum of absolute depth differences while at the bottom of each dive; measure of amount of “wiggling” while at bottom.
ascdist numeric vector with ascent depth.
desc.tdist numeric vector with descent total distance, estimated from velocity.
desc.mean.vel numeric vector with descent mean velocity.
desc.angle numeric vector with descent angle.
bott.tdist numeric vector with bottom total distance, estimated from velocity.
bott.mean.vel numeric vector with bottom mean velocity.
asc.tdist numeric vector with ascent total distance, estimated from velocity.
asc.mean.vel numeric vector with ascent mean velocity.
asc.angle numeric vector with ascent angle.
divetim dive duration.
maxdep numeric vector with maximum depth.
postdive.dur postdive duration.
postdive.tdist numeric vector with postdive total distance, estimated from velocity.
postdive.mean.vel numeric vector with postdive mean velocity.


The number of columns depends on the value of vel.
stampDive returns a data.frame with trip number, trip type, and start and end times for each dive.
