Open data per default: building CeTrAn 5.0 (R code)

[ Project Lead ] @jcolomb [ GitHub Repo ] https://github.com/jcolomb/CeTrAn [ Track ] Tools: you are building a tool others can help you build, Open Data: you have data others can use and play with during the sprint [ Level ] Intermediate [ Timezone ] GMT+2

Description

CeTrAn is a R suite of code to analyse animal behavior data as recorded via the trajectory of their centre of gravity (centroid trajectory analysis). It was used to analyse data obtained in the Buridan's paradigm in fruit fly, but could be extended. The main goals of the sprint would be:

• Set a metadata standard which would also accept rodent open field data
• Expand the code to publish the data and metadata on Figshare before the analysis starts (using the Rfigshare package)
• Build a shiny module to replace (and expand) the GUI.
• Present the results in a authorea or overleaf document, make it a pre-print article and (maybe later) send it for peer review at plos biology (?).

I will procure some data to test the system.

Associated goals could be:

• Clean the code and add a better documentation
• Create a R package
• Analyse some data from mice open field experiments
