mmv {cycleRtools}

Maximal mean values.

Description

Calculate maximal mean values for specified time periods.

Usage

mmv(data, column, windows, deltat = NULL, character.only = FALSE)

Arguments

data

a formatted dataset produced by read*().

column

column in data giving the values of interest. Needn't be quoted.

windows

window size(s) for which to generate best averages, given in seconds.

deltat

the sampling frequency of data in seconds per sample; typically 0.5 or 1. If NULL, this is estimated.

character.only

are column name arguments given as character strings? A backdoor around non-standard evaluation. Mainly for internal use.

Value

a matrix object with two rows: 1) best mean values and 2) the time at which those values were recorded

Examples

data(ridedata)

## Best power for 5 and 20 minutes.
tsec <- c(5, 20) * 60
mmv(ridedata, power.W, tsec)

## Generate a simple critical power estimate.
tsec <- 2:20 * 60
pwrs <- mmv(ridedata, power.W, tsec)
m <- lm(pwrs[1, ] ~ {1 / tsec})  # Simple inverse model.
coef(m)[1]  # Intercept = critical power.

## More complex models...
m <- Pt_model(pwrs[1, ], tsec)
print(m)
## Extract the asymptote of the exponential model.
coef(m)$exp["CP"]
