Metric Minimum
Overview
The Metric Minimum command computes the Minimum Value of a Signal and stores the value as a metric. It can be found within the Pipeline Workshop under Metric.
Pipeline Command
The syntax for the function is as follows:
Metric_Minimum ! /RESULT_METRIC_FOLDER=PROCESSED /RESULT_METRIC_NAME= ! /APPLY_AS_SUFFIX_TO_SIGNAL_NAME=FALSE /SIGNAL_TYPES= ! /SIGNAL_FOLDER=ORIGINAL ! /SIGNAL_NAMES= ! /COMPONENT_SEQUENCE= /EVENT_SEQUENCE= /EXCLUDE_EVENTS= ! /GENERATE_MEAN_AND_STDDEV=TRUE ! /GENERATE_MEAN_AND_STDDEV_ACROSS_SUBJECTS=FALSE ! /APPEND_TO_EXISTING_VALUES=FALSE ! /CREATE_GLOBAL_MINIMUM=FALSE ! /CREATE_TRIAL_MINIMUM=FALSE ;
Command Parameters
The Parameters for the function is as follows:
| Metric_Minimum | |
| /RESULT_METRIC_FOLDER= | Name of results folder |
| /RESULT_METRIC_NAME= | The name of the metric signal created |
| /APPLY_AS_SUFFIX_TO_SIGNAL_NAME= | True or False: Add a suffix to the signal name |
| /SIGNAL_TYPES= | Types of signals to be processed |
| /SIGNAL_NAMES= | Names of signals to be processed |
| /SIGNAL_FOLDER= | Origin folder of signals for processing |
| /COMPONENT_SEQUENCE= | Which component of the signal will be used for statistical analysis of the sequence |
| /EVENT_SEQUENCE= | Specify the sequence of Events. Any number of Events can be entered (separated by +) |
| /EXCLUDE_EVENTS= | If this event occurs between the first and last event, do not computed a metric |
| /Generate_Mean_and_Stddev= | Generate the mean and standard deviation of this metric across ranges and files |
| /Generate_Mean_and_Stddev_Across_Subjects= | Generate the mean and standard deviation of this metric across all subjects |
| /APPEND_TO_EXISTING_VALUES= | Metrics can replace an existing signal or be appended to it. |
| /CREATE_GLOBAL_MINIMUM= | Create minimum value across all trials |
| /CREATE_TRIAL_MINIMUM= | Create minimum value for this trial |
Dialog
The command can be edited in a text editor or in a dialog form. To edit in the dialog pop up form either click on the Edit button in the pipeline workshop or double-click on the pipeline command. The dialog is shown below.
The dialog box allows you to assign values to the command parameters outlined above.
Example 1: Minimum Handspeed
In the following example, compute the Minimum Value of the derived signal HANDSPEED between the events FRAME1 and GO, with any range containing the Event SPEED_CHANGE being ignored.
Metric_Minimum /RESULT_METRIC_NAME=_MEAN /APPLY_AS_SUFFIX_TO_SIGNAL_NAME=TRUE /RESULT_METRIC_FOLDER=PROCESSED /SIGNAL_TYPES=DERIVED /SIGNAL_NAMES=HANDSPEED /SIGNAL_FOLDER=PROCESSED /SIGNAL_COMPONENTS=ALL_COMPONENTS /EVENT_SEQUENCE=FRAME1 + GO /EXCLUDE_EVENTS=SPEED_CHANGE /GENERATE_MEAN_AND_STDDEV=TRUE /APPEND_TO_EXISTING_VALUES=FALSE ! /CREATE_GLOBAL_MAXIMUM=FALSE ;
Example 2: Minimum GRF of Trail Foot in Baseball Swing
Here the Metric Minimum command is used to find minimum vertical ground reaction force value at the trail foot in a baseball swing.
The command is as follows:
Metric_Minimum ! /RESULT_METRIC_FOLDER=PROCESSED /RESULT_METRIC_NAME=Minimum_Trail_GRF ! /APPLY_AS_SUFFIX_TO_SIGNAL_NAME=FALSE /SIGNAL_TYPES=FORCE /SIGNAL_FOLDER=ORIGINAL /SIGNAL_NAMES=FP4 /COMPONENT_SEQUENCE=Z /EVENT_SEQUENCE= /EXCLUDE_EVENTS= ! /GENERATE_MEAN_AND_STDDEV=TRUE ! /GENERATE_MEAN_AND_STDDEV_ACROSS_SUBJECTS=FALSE ! /APPEND_TO_EXISTING_VALUES=FALSE ! /CREATE_GLOBAL_MINIMUM=FALSE ! /CREATE_TRIAL_MINIMUM=FALSE ;
The resulting value for each swing can be found in the METRIC:PROCESSED folder and should look similar to below.
