Count number of observations per trial for a specified dimension (or several) in the trajectory array. This is mostly a helper function used by other functions in this package.
mt_count(data, use = "trajectories", save_as = "measures", dimensions = "xpos")a mousetrap data object created using one of the mt_import
functions (see mt_example for details). Alternatively, a trajectory
array can be provided directly (in this case use will be ignored).
a character string specifying which trajectory data should be used.
a character string specifying where the resulting trajectory data should be stored.
a character vector specifying the name of the dimension(s) that should be used for counting the number of observations. If several dimensions are specified, the number of complete observations are reported.
A mousetrap data object (see mt_example).
If a data.frame with label specified in save_as (by default
"measures") already exists, the number of observations (called nobs)
are added as additional column. If not, an additional data.frame
will be added.
If a trajectory array was provided directly as data, only a named
character vector will be returned.
