Acceleration data collected with triaxial accelerometers (MSR145, MSR Electronics, Switzerland) attached to the left hind leg of two dairy cows (cow01, cow02). The accelerometer sampling frequency was 5 Hz. The forward, up, and right acceleration correspond to body relative directions as used in triact (see vignette("introduction", package = "triact") and Simmler & Brouwers, 2023).

Simmler. M., Brouwers S. P., 2023. Triact package for R: Analyzing the lying behavior of cows from accelerometer data. pdf
An object for containing and analyzing data from accelerometers attached to a hind leg of cows. Analyses focus on the lying behaviour and on the cows' level of physical activity as detailed in Simmler & Brouwers (2023). For a usage example see vignette("introduction", package = "triact").
dataRaw accelerometer data and analysis results. Mainly modified by $load_... and the $add_... methods
new()
Create a new Triact object.
Triact$new()
A new Triact object.
# create a Triact object
my_triact <- Triact$new()
load_files()
Import acceleration data of one or multiple cows from delimiter-separated text files into the Triact object. Importing from multiple files from the same cows is possible but data should follow each other without any gaps in time (overlap is allowed as duplicates after concatenation will be removed). The filenames must allow unique identification of the cow (parameter: id_substring). Accelerometer sampling frequency must be consistent across the files. Acceleration should be in units of g and represent proper acceleration. Triaxial, biaxial, and uniaxial accelerometer data are allowed, but only triaxial data corresponding to relative body directions allows full functionality.
Important: Make sure to correctly specify how to map the axes as named by the accelerometer (e.g., x, y, z) to the body relative axes as used in triact (parameter: timeFwdUpRight_cols). For an example see vignette("introduction", package = "triact").
Triact$load_files(
input,
id_substring,
timeFwdUpRight_cols,
time_format = NULL,
tz = Sys.timezone(),
skip = "__auto__",
sep = "auto",
header = "auto",
dec = ".",
start_time = NULL,
end_time = NULL,
parallel = 1,
...)
inputSpecifies the input acceleration data files. Character vector with the name(s) of the file(s) or a directory containing the files (files can be in subdirectories). If it does not contain absolute paths, the directory or file name(s) are relative to the current working directory, getwd().
id_substringInteger vector identifying the substring of the file names representing the unique identifier of the cows by character position: c(first, last), e.g, c(1, 5) for first to fifth character. Alternatively, a Perl-like regular expression matching the substring.
timeFwdUpRight_colsInteger vector specifying the columns containing the time, and the forward, up, and right axis acceleration data: c(time, fwd, up, right). Missing acceleration axes are specified as NA. A negative mathematical sign is used to indicate that the recorded data reflects the opposite direction (e.g., if you recorded backward acceleration, specify the forward acceleration column with a negative mathematical sign).
time_formatCharacter vector specifying the date-time format corresponding to the acceleration files (syntax as in strptime). If NULL a date-time format as tried by as.POSIX* is expected. Default: NULL
tzCharacter vector specifying the time zone. Default: Sys.timezone()
skipAn integer indicating the number of lines to skip before starting the search for the first data line, which is the first row with a consistent number of columns. Alternatively, a (sub)string specifying the line at which to start the search, or "__auto__" to leave the decision to data.table::fread. Default: "__auto__"
sepThe separator between columns in the acceleration data files. If "auto", it is automatically detected by data.table::fread according to the character in the set [,\t |;:] that separates the sample of rows into the most number of lines with the same number of fields. Default: "auto"
headerA logical value that indicates whether the first data line (afer considering skip) contains column names. Alternatively, "auto" to autmatically detect by data.table::fread according to whether every non-empty field on the first data line is type character. Default: "auto"
decThe decimal separator as in data.table::fread. Default: "."
start_timeTime from which the data should be considered. Formatted as "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%OS" or in another format automatically tried by as.POSIX*. Default: NULL
end_timeTime up to which the data should be considered. Formatted as "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%OS" or in another format automatically tried by as.POSIX*. Default: NULL
parallelAn integer indicating the number of files that are read in parallel. For parallel > 1 the reading of the individual file is set to single-threaded to avoid nested parallelization. This behavior can be overwritten by additionally passing nThread via ... argument, which is passed on to data.table::fread. Default: 1
...Further arguments passed to data.table::fread.
Returns the Triact object itself, but modified by reference.
# create a Triact object
my_triact <- Triact$new()
input_dir <- system.file("extdata", package = "triact")
my_triact$load_files(input = input_dir,
id_substring = c(1, 5),
timeFwdUpRight_cols = c(1, -2, 3, -4),
skip = "DATA")
# inspect imported data
head(my_triact$data)
load_table()
Import acceleration data from a data.frame-like table (see cows_5hz as an example). The table should contain the following columns:
| colname | type | description |
| id | Factor | unique id for the cow |
| time | POSIXct | timestamp |
| acc_fwd | numeric | acceleration from forward axis (units: g) |
| acc_up | numeric | acceleration from up axis (units: g) |
| acc_right | numeric | acceleration from right axis (units: g) |
The accelerometer sampling frequency must be the same across all cows (id). No time gaps are allowed (within data of one id). One or two of the acceleration columns may be missing, but the possible analyses are then limited.
Important: Make sure the accelerometer axes correctly represent body relative axes as used in triact (forward, up, right). For an example see vignette("introduction", package = "triact").
Triact$load_table(table)
Triact$data <- table
tableData frame-like table containing the data to import. Must follow the requirements detailed in the description above.
Returns the Triact object itself, but modified by reference.
# create a Triact object
my_triact <- Triact$new()
my_triact$load_table(cows_5hz)
# inspect imported data
head(my_triact$data)
check_orientation()
Checks for each id (unique identifier of the cow) whether the accelerometer may have been unintentionally mounted 180° rotated in the sagittal plane to the hind leg. If identified as such, the mathematical correction is applied, i.e. the forward and up axes are negated (multiplied by -1), i.e. the axes are mathematically rotated in order to comply with the orientation as specified when loading in the data.
The check is sum(acc_up > crit) < sum(acc_up < (-1 * crit)) with crit = 0.5 by default.
Triact$check_orientation(crit = 0.5, interactive = TRUE)
critCritical value used in the check according to the expression noted in the description above. Default: 0.5
interactiveA logical value that indicates whether the function should interactively prompt the user before applying the correction. Default: TRUE
Returns the Triact object itself, but modified by reference.
# create a Triact object
my_triact <- Triact$new()
my_triact$load_table(cows_5hz)
my_triact$check_orientation()
add_lying()
Classify data into lying and standing and add results as column 'lying' to the Triact object. Additionally, lying and standing bouts are uniquely numbered per id (cow) in column 'bout_nr'. The simple rule-based algorithm is composed of three steps: In the first step, the up acceleration is filtered to obtain the gravity component of the signal. In the second step, a threshold is used to classify the (filtered) gravitational acceleration into lying and standing. Finally, in the third step, lying bouts shorter than a given minimum duration are reclassified as standing. The last step can be performed analogous for standing bouts, but is not recommended by default. See Simmler & Brouwers (2023) for a detailed discussion.
Triact$add_lying(
filter_method = "median",
crit_lie = 0.5,
minimum_duration_lying = 30,
minimum_duration_standing = NULL,
add_filtered = FALSE,
window_size = 10,
cutoff = 0.1,
order = 1)filter_methodFilter method to be applied to obtain the gravity component of the acceleration on the up axis. Options are "median", for median filter, and "butter" for a bidirectional (zero-lag) Butterworth low-pass filter. Default: "median"
crit_lieThreshold for classifying the gravitational acceleration on up axis into lying (below threshold) and standing (above threshold). Default: 0.5
minimum_duration_lyingMinimum duration for lying bouts in seconds. Lying bouts shorter than this threshold are considered false and reclassified as standing. Default: 30
minimum_duration_standingMinimum duration for standing bouts in seconds. Standing bouts shorter than this threshold are considered false and reclassified as lying.
Default: NULL
add_filteredLogical value that indicates whether the filtered gravity component of the up acceleration should be added to the Triact object.
Default: FALSE
window_sizeWindow size in seconds for filter method 'median'. Default: 10
cutoffCutoff frequency for low-pass filtering in Hz for filter method 'butter'. Default: 0.1
orderFilter order for filter method 'butter'. Default: 1
Returns the Triact object itself, but modified by reference.

my_triact <- Triact$new()
my_triact$load_table(cows_5hz)
my_triact$add_lying()
# inspect result
head(my_triact$data)
add_side()
Classify lying bouts into left and right lying side and add the results as column 'side' to the Triact object. The simple one-step algorithm determines whether the majority of the right acceleration values measured during that bout are above (left lying side) or below (right lying side) a threshold. The default threshold depends on which hind leg (left/right hind leg) the accelerometer is attached to, taking into account the asymmetry of the cow's natural lying position. See Simmler & Brouwers (2023) for a detailed explanation.
Triact$add_side(left_leg, crit_left = if (left_leg) 0.5 else -0.5)
left_legLogical indicating whether the accelerometers were attached to the left hind leg (TRUE) or to the right hind leg (FALSE). This information is used to choose the default value for crit_left. It is ignored if crit_left is specified by the user.
crit_leftThreshold for classifying lying on left versus right side based on right acceleration. Default: 0.5 if left_leg is TRUE, else -0.5
Returns the Triact object itself, but modified by reference.

# inspect result
head(my_triact$data)
add_activity()
Calculate proxies for the physical activity level. By default, the L2 norm of the dynamic body acceleration (DBA) vector is calculated. The corresponding L1 norm is optionally available. Also, the L1 and L2 norms of the jerk vector can be calculated. By default, all activity values during lying bouts are 'adjusted' to zero, i.e., periods when cows are lying are considered as 'inactive' by definition. See Simmler & Brouwers (2023) for details.

order = 1)dynamic_measureType of dynamic measure to base the activity proxy on. Options are "dba", for dynamic body acceleration, and "jerk", for the jerk vector. One or both can be provided, e.g., "dba" or c("dba", "jerk"). Default: "dba"
normThe type of norm to be calculated. Options are "L1" and "L2". One or both can be provided, e.g., "L1" or c("L1", "L2"). Default: "L2"
adjustA logical value that indicates whether the proxies for physical activity should be 'adjusted' to 0 during lying bouts, i.e., whether cows should be considered as inactive by definition when lying. Default: TRUE
filter_methodFilter method to be used to determine the gravity component subtracted from the raw acceleration to obtain the dynamic body acceleration. Options are "median", for median filter, and "butter" for a bidirectional (zero-lag) Butterworth low-pass filter. Default: "median"
keep_dynamic_measureA logical value that indicates whether the intermediate data, being the dynamic body acceleration vector and/or the jerk vector, should be added to the Triact object. Default: FALSE
window_sizeWindow size in seconds for filter method 'median' used in DBA-based proxies. Default: 10
cutoffCutoff frequency for low-pass filtering in Hz for filter method 'butter' used in DBA-based proxies. Default: 0.1
orderFilter order for filter method 'butter' used in DBA-based proxies. Default: 1

summarize_intervals()
Summarizes the data in the Triact object, activity and lying behaviour, by regular intervals. The information contained in the output table depends on the analyses you added to the Triact object using the $add_activity(), $add_lying(), and $add_side() methods. With bout = TRUE information on bouts per interval (number and mean bout duration) will be returned additionally. With side = TRUE summarized information such lying duration is additionally provided separately for the lying side (left/right). For measures such as the number of lying bouts or mean lying bout duration, a weighted mean ('wMean...') is calculated with the weights being the proportion of the individual bout overlapping with the respective interval. See interval_summary for a complete list of summarized measures and Simmler & Brouwers (2023) for details.
