Phenospex Analysis

---

This repository contains tools for analyzing growth curve characteristics of Phenospex data from the World Vegetable Center, to compare different varieties of crops (e.g. eggplants and peppers) using 3D phenotyping techniques.

Data Requirements

• The Phenospex HortControl system produces a CSV file to be used as input.
• It is best to delete any spaces and special characters in the column names, in advance. (for example, "Height (mm)" should be edited to "Height").
• Please make sure that the date format for timestamp is "MM/DD/YYYY HH/MM/SS". For example: "10/23/2019 1:34:00 PM".

Running the Code

• Open main.R
• Specify the name of the Phenospex data file as the value of the variable datafile
• Specify the properties that you wish to compare as inputs for the vector variable properties.
• Specify the dates of the starting and ending times for the data of concern. These variables are startingtime and endingtime, respectively, supplied as inputs to the strptime function.
• Run the whole main.R main script.
• The output is a CSV file containing AUC estimates for each unit.
