Belgian cetacean passive acoustic network (BCPAN) analysis (C-POD network)

Analysis of data from C-POD stations:

1. Data exploration & statistical tests: cpod_analysis.R
2. Correlation of different variables (e.g. lost minutes, detection positive minutes (DPM), days of activity): correlation.R
3. Heatmap to visualize data per hour per day per year: heatmap.R
4. NMDS & PERMANOVA: NMDS_PCA.R
5. Cross correlation function for time series of tide and noise: cross_correlation_function.R
6. Cleaning script - yearly export - cpod data.R
7. Descriptive statistics from the C-POD data paper: BCPAN_descriptive_stats.R

Passive Belgian acoustic receiver network (PBARN) analysis

Analysis of data from acoustic receivers:

1. Data exploration: explore_data.R
2. Calculation of receiver efficiency index (REI): REI_compute.R
3. Interpolation of calculated REI: interpolation.py
4. Assessment of station performance based on how much time a receiver was lost/broken/replaced and data availability: station_performance.R
