char_validate_params: Validate CharAnalysis input parameters

In CharAnalysis: Peak Detection and Fire History from Sediment-Charcoal Records

Validate CharAnalysis input parameters

Description

Checks all user-supplied parameters for internal consistency and plausible ranges. Throws a descriptive error and halts if any check fails. Emits warnings for non-fatal but unusual settings.

Usage

char_validate_params(
  char_data,
  pretreatment,
  smoothing,
  peak_analysis,
  results
)

Arguments

char_data	Numeric matrix (n x 6+).
pretreatment	List with zoneDiv, yrInterp, transform.
smoothing	List with method, yr.
peak_analysis	List with cPeak, threshType, threshMethod, threshValues, minCountP, peakFrequ.
results	List (not checked; included for API symmetry).

Details

Mirrors CharValidateParams.m from the MATLAB v2.0 codebase. All 15 checks and 2 non-fatal warnings are reproduced in the same order.

Value

NULL invisibly on success. Stops with an error on failure.
