Convert a by-song extended selection table to by-element

by_element_est converts a by-song extended selection table to by-element.

Usage

by_element_est(X, mar = 0.1, pb = FALSE, parallel = 1)

Arguments

X

object of class 'extended_selection_table' (see selection_table).

mar

Numeric vector of length 1 specifying the margins (in seconds) adjacent to the start and end points of the selections when creating the ''by element' extended selection table. Default is 0.1.

pb

Logical argument to control progress bar. Default is FALSE.

parallel

Numeric. Controls whether parallel computing is applied. It specifies the number of cores to be used. Default is 1 (i.e. no parallel computing).

Value

A 'by element' extended selection table (see selection_table).

Details

This function converts extended selection tables in 'by song' format (several selection per wave object) to a 'by element' format (one wave object per selection).
