package by @ropensci! 🎉mctq have been changed. Old links have a redirect protocol
to point to the new repository and new website.assign_date() now returns only Interval objects.convert() and all convert_*() functions were removed. See a dedicated note
about this below.ms() was renamed to msl(). See a dedicated note about this below.sd() was renamed to sdu(). See a dedicated note about this below.shortest_interval() was renamed to shorter_interval().shorter_interval() and longer_interval() now returns only Interval
objects.sum_time() now have different arguments and was divided in two functions:
sum_time() (for non-vectorized sums) and vct_sum_time() (for vectorized
sums).sum_time() now returns only Duration objects.cycle_time(), a function to cycle time spans, was introduced.round_time() is now a S3 generic.cli package (now on imports).mctq package use
Duration instead of Period (objects from the
lubridate package) as the default object
for time spans.convert() was created considering the user experience (sleep and chronobiology
scientists). Since most of them don't have much experience with R and that time
can have different types of representations (e.g., decimal hours, radian),
convert() aim was to help transpose those difficulties, posing as an
"universal translator" (🖖).
However, after much thought and consideration, we believe that the convert()
feature may be out of the mctq scope. It can maybe be part of another package
(a lubritime package perhaps? 😄). Other mctq tools, like
shorter_interval() and sum_time(), could also be a part of that package (but
are necessary in mctq for the time being). Hence, we decided to remove
convert() and to instruct the user to check the
lubridate and
hms packages for parsing/conversion.
That was a tough, but necessary, call. Although we tried to preserve the
original author's naming pattern for the MCTQ functions, the name sd provokes
a dangerous name collision with the widely used stats::sd() function (standard
deviation) and the name ms provokes a name collision with lubridate::ms()
(a function for parsing minutes and seconds components). That's why we
decided to renamed them. sdu() and msl() are the only exceptions, all the
other mctq functions maintain a strong naming resemblance with the original
author's naming pattern.
