Practical notes, recipes and traps. The reference documentation lives with the code at fourMs.github.io/micromotion; this wiki is for things that change independently of a release.

Pages

  • Traps — mistakes this corpus has actually made, and how the package prevents them
  • Recipes — worked examples for common questions
  • Open questions — unresolved decisions affecting reported numbers

The one-paragraph summary

Quantity of motion is the average speed of a body part, band-limited to 0.3–10 Hz, in millimetres per second. Compute it with mm.qom(data, fs, kind=...). Read files with mm.read(path), which dispatches on content. Compare across datasets only after mm.to_rate(x, fs, mm.COMMON_RATE), and only within a matching body placement and a matching task instruction.

Status

Version 0.2.0, unreleased on PyPI. Not yet tagged, because the band convention question under Open questions affects a headline number in the README.
