WearDetection - algorithm reference #43

Closed FilippoCMC closed 1 year ago

FilippoCMC commented 1 year ago

Thanks very much for putting together this lovely package :-) I was wondering if you could point me towards the reference/publication for the no-wear detection algorithm implemented in the class WearDetection here. Furthermore, why did you choose that particular algorithm, if I may ask? Thanks!

Hi, thanks! :-)

Sure, the wear detection algorithm was implemented according to this paper, with modifications according to this paper. We those this particular algorithm because it's also used in the GGIR R package, which is quite well-established for IMU processing in sleep and physical activity research.

I also added the two references to the class documentation!
