Step counting for days with gaps/ windows <24hours?

[egnerc]

Dear GGIR Team and Community,
first of all thank you very much for the useful package and frequent updates!
I am looking for a way to count daily steps (data comes from wrist-worn GeneActive devices, worn for 10-14 days) also for windows smaller than 24 hours or with gaps where non-wear time was detected:
Using the Verisense algorithm works well for all days where a full 24 hour window of data is available. For the first/last day of data collection and on any days with wear-time gaps the field for steps is however returned empty in the "part2_dayeventsummary". I already tried to play around with some of the settings, such as minvalid, winhr, maxdur... but could not find a solution yet.
Does anyone have a suggestion how to approach this further?
Both a step count within actual wear-time or an extrapolation of data for the 24 hour would be ok. I am also open to other algorithms apart from verisense.
Thank you very much in andvance and kind regards.

My current code is:

library(GENEAclassify)
library(GENEAcore)
library(GENEAread)
library(GGIR)
library(GGIRread)

source("myscript.R") # source verisense step count algorithm

GGIR(
  mode = c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5),
  datadir = use_datadir,
  outputdir = use_outputdir,
  #studyname = use_studyname,
  myfun = myfun, #use verisense step count algorithm
  overwrite = TRUE,
  do.calibrate.steps = TRUE,
  minvalid = 60, # at least this amount of min per day weartime to evaluate
  winhr = 0,        # start day at midnight to avoid weird day splitting
  daysel = NULL,    # Process all days
  maxdur = 24,      # Process full day duration
  # optionally set verbose = TRUE to see more logs
  verbose = 3
)

library(GENEAclassify)
library(GENEAcore)
library(GENEAread)

are not used by GGIR and

do.calibrate.steps = TRUE,
minvalid = 60, #
daysel = NULL,    # Process all days
verbose = 3

are not GGIR parameters. I think you are mixing up the documentation from different R packages.
See guidance for step detection in GGIR here: https://wadpac.github.io/GGIR/articles/StepCadenceAnalysis.html

I will now close this issue. Feel free to re-open if you have a GGIR specific issue.
