ABC Project

This project processes whale tag data and creates composite time series dashboards for each event segment.

Directory Structure

• data/: Contains input CSV files (mn09_203a.csv and log_mn09_203a.csv).
• scripts/: Contains the R scripts for processing data and generating dashboards and analysis plots.
• plots/: Directory where the generated composite dashboards and analysis plots will be saved.
• output/: Directory where the labeled and event data CSV files will be saved.
• README.md: This file.
• .gitignore: Specifies files and directories to ignore in Git.

Setup

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/GilRaitses/ABC-Project.git
   cd ABC-Project

2. Ensure you have the necessary R packages installed:

   install.packages(c("dplyr", "fuzzyjoin", "tagtools", "tidyr", "purrr", "stringr", "ggplot2", "patchwork", "scales"))

3. Ensure the data/ directory contains the required CSV files:

   • mn09_203a.csv
   • log_mn09_203a.csv

4. Create the plots and output directories if they don't exist:

   mkdir -p plots output

Running the Scripts

1. Generate the Event Data:

   • Open R or RStudio.
   • Set the working directory to the project folder:

     setwd("path/to/ABC-Project")

   • Run the create_composite_dashboards.R script:

     source("scripts/create_composite_dashboards.R")

2. Generate the Analysis Plots:

   • Run the analyze_whale_dives.R script:

     source("scripts/analyze_whale_dives.R")

The output plots will be saved in the plots/ directory. The CSV files will be saved in the data/ directory.

.gitignore

Include the following in your .gitignore to ignore the output files and other unnecessary files:

output/
plots/
*.RData
*.Rhistory
