This repository contains the ongoing development version of MetaCycle.

Introduction

MetaCycle is an R package for evaluating periodicity in large scale time-series datasets. This package provides two functions- meta2d and meta3d. For analyzing time-series datasets without individual information, meta2d is suggested, which incorporates ARSER, JTK_CYCLE and Lomb-Scargle in the detection of interested rhythms. For analyzing time-series datasets with individual information, meta3d is suggested, which takes use of any one of these three methods to analyze time-series data individual by individual and gives out integrated values based on analysis result of each individual.
