cr-features 0.1.5

A library for calculating features suitable for context recognition

Calculating features

Usage

• Install the library with:

  pip install build
  python -m build
  

  Alternative:

  pip install pep517
  python -m pep517.build .
  

• Basic usage is:

from cr_features.helper_functions import empatica1d_to_array, convert_to2d, frequency_features, hrv_features, gsr_features
from cr_features.calculate_features import calculate_features
import pandas as pd

pathToHrvCsv = "example_data/S2_E4_Data/BVP.csv"
windowLength = 500

# get an array of values from HRV empatica file
hrv_data, startTimeStamp, sampleRate = empatica1d_to_array(pathToHrvCsv)

# Convert the HRV data into 2D array
hrv_data_2D = convert_to2d(hrv_data, windowLength)

# Create a list with feature names
featureNames = []
featureNames.extend(hrv_features)
featureNames.extend(frequency_features)

pd.set_option('display.max_columns', None)

# Calculate features
calculatedFeatures = calculate_features(hrv_data_2D, fs=int(sampleRate), feature_names=featureNames)

Features

• Features are returned (from calculateFeatures() function) in a Pandas DataFrame object.
• In the case if a feature couldn't be calculated (for example, if input signal is invalid), NaN value is returned.
• Further in this section, the list with descriptions of all possible features is presented.
