Interpolate Short Gaps in UID Time Series Data

Source: R/post_processing.R
interpolate_gaps.Rd

Fills small gaps (NAs) in downsampled UID data using linear interpolation, only for gaps that are no longer than a specified number of bins. Assumes a regular time step (e.g., 1-minute bins) and operates within grouping variables like rfid and session_name.

Usage

interpolate_gaps(
  df,
  max_gap = 10,
  target_cols = c("temperature", "activity_index"),
  add_flag = FALSE
)

Arguments

df

A downsampled data frame, ideally grouped by one or more identifiers.

max_gap

Maximum number of consecutive missing bins to interpolate (default = 10).

target_cols

Character vector of column names to interpolate.

add_flag

Logical. If TRUE, adds a .interpolated column (default = FALSE).

Value

A data frame with interpolated values for short gaps.
