Export Summarized Data

Export Summarized Data

This feature enables the user to transform data from the summarized .inc file into a format usable by other statistical analyses packages in case of Submovement Analysis. The summarized file has the submovement data in rows rather than columns, which is usually not directly usable by other statistical programs (i.e., without transformation).

This procedure provides compatibility by providing an output text file containing all the feature parameters in one of the two specifiable formats.

This operation can be performed only after the Analysis Chart is plotted for the experiment (Experiment right click > Analysis > Analysis Chart). See this section for details.

To Export data, Experiment > right click > Analysis > Export Summarized Data > choose option

Summarized data (.inc file)

Summarized data (.inc file) is processed to obtain the .Tmp file which is in the following format

Group	Subject	Condition	Trial	Segment	Submovement	(1) StartTime (ST)	(2) Duration DT	(3) Jerk JK	........etc.
1	1	1	1	1	1	0.1111	1.0000	10000	....
1	1	1	1	1	2	0.2222	2.0000	20000	....
1	1	1	1	1	3	0.3333	3.0000	30000

(1), (2), (3)...etc indicate the columns of extracted features.

Transformed data

Option 1: Group Columns by Parameter

Group	Subject	Condition	Trial	Segment	ST1	ST2	ST3	DT1	DT2	DT3	JK1	JK2	JK3	.......etc.
1	1	1	1	1	0.1111	0.2222	0.3333	1.0000	2.0000	3.0000	10000	20000	30000

Suffixes 1, 2, 3 for each parameter indicate primary, secondary and total submovements

Option 2: Group Columns by Submovement

Group	Subject	Condition	Trial	Segment	ST1	DT1	JK1	..etc	ST2	DT2	JK2	...etc	ST3	DT3	JK3	...etc
1	1	1	1	1	0.1111	1.0000	10000		0.2222	2.0000	20000		0.3333	3.0000	30000

Output file (.ana):

After the operation is completed, the program indicates where the output file is stored (in the user root folder).
