Hi,

I am attempting to tabulate binned data. The '1' represents the appearance of 
the focal mouse pup, and '2' represents the disappearance of the focal mouse 
pup. The code written below is intended to calculate the total time spent 
appeared out of 3600s. For Sample 1, both the hand calculation and R code yield 
the same result, 50. A problem seems to occur when '1' is the last entry. For 
Sample 2, the total time appeared is 53  (hand calculation), however, using the 
R code below yields 55. If you have any suggestions for solving the problem, 
please let me know. 

Thank you in advance for any assistance you may provide.

Delia


Sample 1

Sample 2

name = read.table(file.choose(),header=F) # opening a data file
colnames(name)<-c("Time", "Behavior")
name = data.frame(name$Behavior, name$Time)
colnames(name)<-c("Behavior", "Time")    
name<-name[name$Time < 3600, ];

## run file 

x<-seq(0,3600, by = 60) # total time partition by time which is 60

if (tail(name$Behavior, 1) == 1) {name<-rbind(name, c(4, 3600))} else
{name<-rbind(name, c(1, 3600))} 

if (nrow(name) %% 2 != 0)
 {name <-name[-c(nrow(name)), -c(nrow(name))]}

q<-NULL
for (y in (1: nrow(name)))
{
    if (y %% 2 != 0)
    q<-c(q, (c(name$Time[y]:name$Time[y +1])))
}

b<-table(cut(q,x))

sum(b)
