Convert duration data to binary

Uses a naive method for converting duration data to binary data. Use with caution. Ensure that all time periods are in the same units.

Usage

convert_duration_to_binary(df, event_name, divisor_name, max_event_length)

Arguments

df

Original dataframe, ready for use with bison_model.

event_name

The variable name in the dataframe corresponding to event durations.

divisor_name

The variable name in the dataframe corresponding to divisor durations (e.g. observation time).

max_event_length

The maximum length of time a single social event could take place for.

Value

A dataframe the same as the input but with event_name and divisor_name columns replaced with values compatible with binary models.
