PAutilities

This package provides utilities to support a range of tasks in physical activity research. These include the items in the list below, which is expected to grow and mature over time. Feature/pull requests are encouraged!

  • Activity intensity classification from metabolic equivalents and (if available) posture
  • Analysis of bout detection (i.e., change point detection) algorithm performance
  • Assessment of cardiovascular disease risk
  • Bland-Altman analysis and plotting
  • Bouted moderate-to-vigorous physical activity analysis (now recommend using analyze_bouts from PBpatterns)
  • Demographic and anthropometric calculations (age, BMI, BMI-for-age percentile, weight status) (now recommend using anthropometry)
  • Formatted descriptive statistics
  • Indexed run length encoding
  • Metabolic calculations (energy expenditure, unit conversions, resting energy expenditure predictions, sliding window resting metabolic rate calculations)
  • Paired equivalence testing (including a plot method)
  • Programming management (e.g. runtime updates, object comparisons)
  • Reordering data frame variables
