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.

Update news

For accelerating the analysis process of MetaCycle, it is under the development of parallel version which is lead by Xaiver (haohan.li.97@gmail.com).
