dyad_id {spatsoc}

Dyad ID

Description

Generate a dyad ID for edge list generated by edge_nn or edge_dist.

Usage

dyad_id(DT = NULL, id1 = NULL, id2 = NULL)

Arguments

DT

input data.table with columns id1 and id2, as generated by edge_dist or edge_nn

id1

ID1 column name generated by edge_dist or edge_nn

id2

ID2 column name generated by edge_dist or edge_nn

Details

An undirected edge identifier between, for example individuals A and B will be A-B (and reverse B and A will be A-B). Internally sorts and pastes id columns.

More details in the edge and dyad vignette (in progress).

Value

dyad_id returns the input data.table with appended "dyadID" column

Examples

# Load data.table
library(data.table)


# Read example data
DT <- fread(system.file("extdata", "DT.csv", package = "spatsoc"))

# Cast the character column to POSIXct
DT[, datetime := as.POSIXct(datetime, tz = 'UTC')]

# Temporal grouping
group_times(DT, datetime = 'datetime', threshold = '20 minutes')

# Edge list generation
edges <- edge_dist(
    DT,
    threshold = 100,
    id = 'ID',
    coords = c('X', 'Y'),
    timegroup = 'timegroup',
    returnDist = TRUE,
    fillNA = TRUE
  )

# Generate dyad IDs
dyad_id(edges, 'ID1', 'ID2')
