Validate an anievent

Source: R/anievent_validate.R
validate_anievent.Rd

Re-runs the structural invariants of an anievent object on demand:

  • required columns (channel, type, label, start, stop) are present with the expected types — hard errors;

  • type is a factor with levels c("state", "point") — hard error;

  • stop >= start for every row — hard error;

  • modifiers, if present, is a list-column whose cells are character vectors — hard error;

  • within each (identity + temporal-grouping) group, two bouts of the same channel should not overlap — warning only. Overlapping bouts within a channel are permitted on the anievent side; this is the form the data takes from coding tools that allow non-mutually-exclusive coding (e.g. BORIS without strict ethogram).

Usage

validate_anievent(data)

An anievent object.
