The mark_duration() function creates a column labeling rows with fast and/or slow duration. The function is written to work with data from Qualtrics surveys.

Usage

mark_duration(
  x,
  min_duration = 10,
  max_duration = NULL,
  id_col = "ResponseId",
  duration_col = "Duration (in seconds)",
  rename = TRUE,
  quiet = FALSE,
  print = TRUE
)

Arguments

x

Data frame (preferably imported from Qualtrics using {qualtRics}).

min_duration

Minimum duration that is too fast in seconds.

max_duration

Maximum duration that is too slow in seconds.

id_col

Column name for unique row ID (e.g., participant).

duration_col

Column name for durations.

rename

Logical indicating whether to rename columns (using rename_columns())

quiet

Logical indicating whether to print message to console.

print

Logical indicating whether to print returned tibble to console.

Value

An object of the same type as x that includes a column marking rows with fast and slow duration. For a function that checks for these rows, use check_duration(). For a function that excludes these rows, use exclude_duration().

Details

Default column names are set based on output from the qualtRics::fetch_survey(). By default, minimum durations of 10 seconds are checked, but either minima or maxima can be checked with the min_duration and max_duration arguments. The function outputs to console separate messages about the number of rows that are too fast or too slow.

This function returns the fast and slow rows.

Examples

# Mark durations faster than 100 seconds
data(qualtrics_text)
df <- mark_duration(qualtrics_text, min_duration = 100)
#>  4 out of 100 rows took less time than 100.

# Remove preview data first
df <- qualtrics_text %>%
  exclude_preview() %>%
  mark_duration()
#>  2 out of 100 preview rows were excluded, leaving 98 rows.
#>  0 out of 98 rows took less time than 10.

# Mark only for durations slower than 800 seconds
df <- qualtrics_text %>%
  exclude_preview() %>%
  mark_duration(max_duration = 800)
#>  2 out of 100 preview rows were excluded, leaving 98 rows.
#>  0 out of 98 rows took less time than 10.
#>  2 out of 98 rows took more time than 800.
