check_duration {excluder}

Check for minimum or maximum durations

Description

The check_duration() function subsets rows of data, retaining rows that have durations that are too fast or too slow. The function is written to work with data from Qualtrics surveys.

Usage

check_duration(
  x,
  min_duration = 10,
  max_duration = NULL,
  id_col = "ResponseId",
  duration_col = "Duration (in seconds)",
  rename = TRUE,
  keep = FALSE,
  quiet = FALSE,
  print = TRUE
)

Arguments

x

Data frame (preferably imported from Qualtrics using {qualtRics}).

min_duration

Minimum duration that is too fast in seconds.

max_duration

Maximum duration that is too slow in seconds.

id_col

Column name for unique row ID (e.g., participant).

duration_col

Column name for durations.

rename

Logical indicating whether to rename columns (using rename_columns())

keep

Logical indicating whether to keep or remove exclusion column.

quiet

Logical indicating whether to print message to console.

print

Logical indicating whether to print returned tibble to console.

Details

Default column names are set based on output from the qualtRics::fetch_survey(). By default, minimum durations of 10 seconds are checked, but either minima or maxima can be checked with the min_duration and max_duration arguments. The function outputs to console separate messages about the number of rows that are too fast or too slow.

This function returns the fast and slow rows.

Value

An object of the same type as x that includes the rows with fast and/or slow duration. For a function that marks these rows, use mark_duration(). For a function that excludes these rows, use exclude_duration().

Examples

# Check for durations faster than 100 seconds
data(qualtrics_text)
check_duration(qualtrics_text, min_duration = 100)

# Remove preview data first
qualtrics_text %>%
  exclude_preview() %>%
  check_duration(min_duration = 100)

# Check only for durations slower than 800 seconds
qualtrics_text %>%
  exclude_preview() %>%
  check_duration(max_duration = 800)

# Do not print rows to console
qualtrics_text %>%
  exclude_preview() %>%
  check_duration(min_duration = 100, print = FALSE)

# Do not print message to console
qualtrics_text %>%
  exclude_preview() %>%
  check_duration(min_duration = 100, quiet = TRUE)
