Welcome to Animal project!

The Animal package is intended as tool for analyzing time coded behavioral observation and other ethological data. The project aims to promote the use of R in the the animal sciences and to provide easy to use functions for the researches in the field.

The Animal package is a collection of functions for analyzing animal (including humans) behavior data originating from a variety of sources. The package has functions to analyze time coded behaviors from CowLog (open source software for coding behaviors from digital video) data files and observation files with similar format. Other features include hourly, daily, weekly and monthly summaries of time coded data, analysis of RIC (roughage intake system, Insentec automation) data files and labeling measurement data according to behavioral observations for e.g model building purposes.

The project was created and is admistered by Matti Pastell and the latest stable version of the package can be downloaded from CRAN.
