Attach count time windows to a daily sampling schedule

Cross-joins a daily schedule produced by generate_schedule() with a count-time template produced by generate_count_times(), returning a creel_schedule with one row per (date x period x count_window).

Usage

attach_count_times(schedule, count_times)

Arguments

schedule

A creel_schedule from generate_schedule(). Must have a date column.

count_times

A creel_schedule from generate_count_times(). Must have start_time, end_time, and window_id columns.

Value

A creel_schedule data frame with all columns from schedule plus start_time, end_time, and window_id from count_times. Row count equals nrow(schedule) * nrow(count_times).
