Features description for [PHONE_BATTERY][PROVIDERS][RAPIDS]:

Feature Units Description
countdischarge episodes Number of discharging episodes.
sumdurationdischarge minutes The total duration of all discharging episodes.
countcharge episodes Number of battery charging episodes.
sumdurationcharge minutes The total duration of all charging episodes.
avgconsumptionrate episodes/minutes The average of all episodes’ consumption rates. An episode’s consumption rate is defined as the ratio between its battery delta and duration
maxconsumptionrate episodes/minutes The highest of all episodes’ consumption rates. An episode’s consumption rate is defined as the ratio between its battery delta and duration

Assumptions/Observations

  1. We convert battery data collected with iOS client v1 (autodetected because battery status 4 do not exist) to match Android battery format: we swap status 3 for 5 and 1 for 3
  2. We group battery data into discharge or charge episodes considering any contiguous rows with consecutive reductions or increases of the battery level if they are logged within [EPISODE_THRESHOLD_BETWEEN_ROWS] minutes from each other.
