Parameters for Statistical Evaluation of Sensing Time Efectiveness for Assessment of Fitness to Drive

This repository contains a table with parameters (including sensing time - ST parameter) and an R script for statistical analysis. This is supplementary material for the preprint available on arXiv and titled "Sensing Time Effectiveness for Fitness to Drive Evaluation in Neurological Patients" authored by Nadica Miljković and Jaka Sodnik . ST parameter was calculated in overall 56 patients during selected scenario with pedestrian collision in a driving simulator produced by Nervtech. Together with other parameters, ST parameters are stored in tableParameters.csv, while R programming code for statistical analysis of all parameters is placed in statisticalAnalysis.R. Dataset contents tableParameters.csv, table with parameters, csv (comma-separated values) format statisticalAnalysis.R, code in R programming language for statistical analysis Table with parameters has the following structure column - no which is ordinary number in consecutive order from 1 to 56 column - id presents an internal patient's id column - st presents ST parameter in ms column - fitness presents a categorical variable and can be either fit-, unfit-, or conditionally-fit-to-drive (cond fit) column - speed at the collision onset in km/h column - ttc presents time-to-collision in s column - manual_correction is categorical variable: 0 means that no manual correction was required for ST calculation, while 1 means that manual correction was required column - igd presents initial gaze distance in pixels Missing data are presented with NA (Not Available). NOTE: Python code for ST calculation and sample eye tracker video are available on GitHub repository https://github.com/NadicaSm/Sensing-Time-Calculation-from-the-Eye-Tracker-Videos under GNU GPL license and released on Zenodo with doi (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6560419).
