2 2 lunar.4phases Inde 12 lunar-package The lunar Package Lunar Phase & Distance, Seasons and Other Environmental Factors. Provides functions to calculate the phase of the moon, its distance from the earth, the season and possibly other environmental factors, based on date and location. Package: lunar Type: Package Version: Date: Depends: R (>= ) Encoding: UTF-8 License: MIT LazyLoad: no URL: Provides functions to calculate lunar and other environmental covariates. This package is used by the author to calculate covariates for studies of lunar effect on health and healthcare. References forthcoming. Author(s) Emmanuel Lazaridis lunar.4phases Lunar Phase Categories (4) Return 4 category labels for lunar phases. lunar.4phases
3 lunar.8phases 3 Format chr [1:4] "New" "Waing" "Full" "Waning" These are category names corresponding to phases of the moon. Moon phase category names may be returned in the output of the lunar.phase function if its name option is set to TRUE. lunar.phase print(lunar.4phases) lunar.8phases Lunar Phase Categories (8) Return 8 category labels for lunar phases. lunar.8phases Format chr [1:8] "New" "Waing crescent" "First quarter" "Waing gibbous" "Full" "Waning gibbous"... These are category names corresponding to phases of the moon. Moon phase category names may be returned in the output of the lunar.phase function if its name option is set to TRUE. lunar.phase print(lunar.8phases)
4 4 lunar.distance lunar.distance Lunar Distance Returns the distance of the moon from the earth on specified dates. lunar.distance(, shift = 0,..., name = FALSE, strict = FALSE) shift name strict The number of hours by which to shift the distance calculation. By default distance is calculated at 12 noon UT. Optional parameter indicating whether the return is a factor variable consisting of a lunar distance label, or the lunar distance in earth radii. By default lunar phase is returned in earth radii. Optional parameter indicating whether the return should employ strict definitions for distance labels, that is, with apogee and perigee within 5 definition breaks the distance categories evenly into 20 The average category is the same in both definitions.... Other optional arguments are ignored. Distance to the moon is returned in units of earth radii, or as a 5-level factor variable referring to the moon s perigee (at about 56 earth radii) and apogee (at about 63.8 earth radii).

By default the window looks back 7 days including. by The eposure interval and integration basis. The default is to represent a day s distance by the distance at 12 noon UT. The other options integrate midrange distances over hours.... Other optional arguments are ignored. lunar.distance lunar.distance.mean(as.date(" ")) lunar.distances Lunar Distance Categories Return category labels for lunar distances. lunar.distances Format chr [1:5] "Apogee" "Far" "Average" "Near" "Perigee"
6 6 lunar.illumination These are category names corresponding to distances from the center of the Earth to the center of its moon. Distance category names are used in the output of the lunar.distance function if its name option is set to TRUE. The perigee occurs at roughly 56 Earth radii, and the apogee at about 62.8 Earth radii. These categories are not determined according to any common standard. They may have different precise definitions for their bounds in different analyses. lunar.distance print(lunar.distances) lunar.illumination Lunar Illumination Returns the proportion of lunar illumination on specified dates. lunar.illumination(, shift = 0) shift The number of hours by which to shift the calculation of lunar phase. By default lunar phase is calculated at 12 noon UT. Adapted from function moon.illumination in from the R4MFCL project (not an R package), which was developed by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC). The R4MFCL project was led by Simon Hoyle, and also includes code by Shelton Harley, Nick Davies, and Adam Langley of the SPC, and Pierre Kleiber of the US National Marine Fisheries Service. Pierre Kleiber is the author of the moon.illumination function. Code from project R4MFCL is distributed under the MIT License: Here is a link to the R4MFCL project:

By default the window looks back 7 days including. by The eposure interval and integration basis. The default is to represent a day s illumination by the illumination at 12 noon UT. The other options integrate midrange illuminations over hours. Options day and night are not currently implemented, but will be used to limit eposure intervals. The use of an unimplemented option in a function call will result in a NULL value being returned.... Other optional arguments are ignored. lunar.illumination lunar.illumination.mean(as.date(" "))
8 8 lunar.metric.mean lunar.metric.mean Average Lunar Metrics Returns an average measurement around specified dates. lunar.metric.mean(, towards = -6,..., by = c("date", "hours", "day", "night"), type = c("illumination", "distance")) towards The directed window size from in days. By default the window looks back 7 days including. by type The eposure interval and integration basis. The default is to represent a day s illumination by the illumination at 12 noon UT. The other options integrate midrange illuminations over hours. Options day and night are not currently implemented, but will be used to limit eposure intervals. The use of an unimplemented option in a function call will result in a NULL value being returned. Whether illumination or distance metrics are to be returned. The use of an unimplemented option in a function call will result in a NULL value being returned.... Other optional arguments are ignored.

9 lunar.phase 9 lunar.phase Lunar Phase Returns the lunar phase on specified dates. lunar.phase(, shift = 0,..., name = FALSE) shift name The number of hours by which to shift the calculation of lunar phase. By default lunar phase is calculated at 12 noon UT. Optional parameter indicating whether the return is a factor variable By default lunar phase is returned in radians. If assigned the value 8, it returns a factor variable with 8 phase levels. If TRUE or any value other than 0 or 8, it returns a factor variable with 4 phase labels.... Other optional arguments are ignored. Adapted from function moon.illumination in from the R4MFCL project (not an R package), which was developed by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC). The R4MFCL project was led by Simon Hoyle, and also includes code by Shelton Harley, Nick Davies, and Adam Langley of the SPC, and Pierre Kleiber of the US National Marine Fisheries Service. Pierre Kleiber is the author of the moon.illumination function. Code from project R4MFCL is distributed under the MIT License: Here is a link to the R4MFCL project: The R4MFCL code was modified as follows: Changed function name from moonphase to lunar.phase. Changed input date to be in Date format (as opposed to POSIXct). Removed reliance on other R4MFCL functions. Changed name of primary input from ptime to. Added optional shift term (in hours) relative to 12h UT. Added optional name term to control whether phase names as opposed to radians should be returned. Changed the documentation.
