addLabelDefinitions

Add label definitions to labeled signal set

Description

addLabelDefinitions(lss,lbldefs) adds the labels defined in the vector of signal label definitions lbldefs to the labeled signal set lss.

example

addLabelDefinitions(lss,lbldefs,lblname) adds the labels defined in lbldefs as sublabels of the label lblname.

Load a labeled signal set containing recordings of whale songs.

load whales
lss
lss = 
  labeledSignalSet with properties:

             Source: {2×1 cell}
         NumMembers: 2
    TimeInformation: "sampleRate"
         SampleRate: 4000
             Labels: [2×3 table]
        Description: "Characterize wave song regions"

 Use labelDefinitionsHierarchy to see a list of labels and sublabels.
 Use setLabelValue to add data to the set.

Create a label definition that specifies whether a signal corresponds to a calf or to an adult whale.

calf = signalLabelDefinition("Calf", ...
    LabeldataType="logical",DefaultValue=false, ...
    Description="Is the specimen a calf, or an adult?")
calf = 
  signalLabelDefinition with properties:

                  Name: "Calf"
             LabelType: "attribute"
         LabelDataType: "logical"
    ValidationFunction: []
          DefaultValue: 0
             Sublabels: [0×0 signalLabelDefinition]
                   Tag: ""
           Description: "Is the specimen a calf, or an adult?"

 Use labeledSignalSet to create a labeled signal set.

Add the definition to the labeled signal set. Retrieve the names of the labels.

addLabelDefinitions(lss,calf)

getLabelNames(lss)
ans = 4×1 string
    "WhaleType"
    "MoanRegions"
    "TrillRegions"
    "Calf"

Create a label definition that specifies the sex of the whale. Add the label to the set as a sublabel of 'WhaleType'.

sx = signalLabelDefinition("Sex",LabelDataType="categorical", ...
    Categories=["male" "female"]);
addLabelDefinitions(lss,sx,"WhaleType")

labelDefinitionsHierarchy(lss)
ans = 
    'WhaleType
       Sublabels: Sex
     MoanRegions
       Sublabels: []
     TrillRegions
       Sublabels: TrillPeaks
     Calf
       Sublabels: []
     '

Input Arguments

Labeled signal set, specified as a labeledSignalSet object.

Example: labeledSignalSet({randn(100,1) randn(10,1)},signalLabelDefinition("female")) specifies a two-member set of random signals containing the attribute "female".

Signal label definitions, specified as a signalLabelDefinition object or a vector of signalLabelDefinition objects.

Example: signalLabelDefinition("Asleep",'LabelType','roi','LabelDataType','logical') can label a region of a signal in which a patient is asleep.

Label name, specified as a character vector or a string scalar.

Example: signalLabelDefinition("Asleep",'LabelType','roi') specifies a label of name "Asleep" for a region of a signal in which a patient is asleep during a clinical trial.
