exclude_duration {excluder}

Exclude rows with minimum or maximum durations

Description

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

Usage

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

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())

quiet

Logical indicating whether to print message to console.

print

Logical indicating whether to print returned tibble to console.

silent

Logical indicating whether to print message to console. Note this argument controls the exclude message not the check message.

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 excludes rows with fast and/or slow duration. For a function that checks for these rows, use check_duration(). For a function that marks these rows, use mark_duration().

Examples

# Exclude durations faster than 100 seconds
data(qualtrics_text)
df <- exclude_duration(qualtrics_text, min_duration = 100)

# Remove preview data first
df <- qualtrics_text %>%
  exclude_preview() %>%
  exclude_duration()

# Exclude only for durations slower than 800 seconds
df <- qualtrics_text %>%
  exclude_preview() %>%
  exclude_duration(max_duration = 800)
