make_duration_block_rel()¶

make_duration_block_rel(relname, var_to_copy, binding, block_dur, skip_blocks)¶

Makes a duration-based reliability column. This creates two columns, one containing a cell with a number for that block, and another blank column for the free coding within the block.

Parameter	Type	Description
relname	String	The name of the reliability column you are creating
var_to_copy	RColumn object	Name of the column which you are copying, i.e. the existing column that you are creating a reliability column from.
binding	String	Column to bind the copy to.
block_dur	Integer	Length the blocks should be (in seconds)
skip_blocks	Integer	Determines the amount of space that should be left between each coding block. skip_blocks is an Integer. Each skipped block is the length specified by block_dur. If block_dur is 10 seconds, and skip_blocks is 5, then 50 seconds will be left between each coding block.

Returns

Nothing. Columns are automatically written to the spreadsheet.

Example

The following example creates a duration-based reliability column from the “step” column.
