datetime not found in metab.mle.R #132

Closed blm8 closed 2 years ago

blm8 commented 5 years ago

I am getting the following error message after running the metab.mle.R function:
warning("datetime not found, inferring sampling frequency from # of observations")

I have ensured that my date time vector is read with the POSIXct format. Thoughts?

Hi @blm8 , Are you using the metab() or metab.mle() function and what is the column name of your date time vector? Is it datetime, dateTime, etc...?

Hi Jake,

This is Ben Miller, I was actually at the Cary Institute with you a few years ago.

I am using metab.mle(), and I have tried both 'date time' and 'dateTime.' Which should I be using?

Thanks so much for your help.

Hi Ben! I hope you're doing well. Try using datetime with no spaces between date and time.

The metab() function (rather than metab.mle()) has a little bit more flexibility with recognizing the datetime column supplied - see code here. I'd recommend using the metab() function as a wrapper to the metab.mle() as it is a little bit more efficient in running multiple days and has a few more checks for the format of input data. See a demo of how to use the metab function here, and let me know if you run into any more issues with the date time column.
