buzzr

buzzr is an R companion package to buzzdetect, a passive acoustic monitoring tool for pollinators. It provides a tidy pipeline for reading, thresholding, binning, and plotting buzzdetect results.

See the walkthrough vignette for a full introduction.

Installation

buzzr is not yet on CRAN. Install via devtools:

install.packages('devtools')
devtools::install_github('OSU-Bee-Lab/buzzr')

Key features

• One-shot. bin_directory() combines most preprocessing operations into a single function call. Point it at your results, pull the trigger, and you’re halfway to plotting and modeling.

• Structure is data. If your results are grouped into folders by site, treatment, etc., that metadata can be interpreted from the file structure. The dir_nesting argument decodes folder structure into columns.

• Names are data. file_start_time() extracts recording start times from file names using POSIX format strings

• Shrink your footprint. trim_directory() rounds activation values and drops unwanted neurons across an entire results folder. The output file or folders can be less than 4% the size of the raw buzzdetect results.

• Vroom vroom. Squeeze every last drop of performance out of buzzdetect using evaluate_log() to calculate your analysis rate and identify bottlenecks.
