#' Class `"RLum.Data.Curve"`
#'
#' Class for representing luminescence curve data.
#'
#' @name RLum.Data.Curve-class
#'
#' @docType class
#'
#' @slot recordType
#' Object of class "character" containing the type of the curve (e.g. "TL" or
#' "OSL").
#'
#' @slot curveType
#' Object of class "character" containing curve type, allowed values are
#' "measured" or "predefined".
#'
#' @slot data
#' Object of class [matrix] containing curve x and y data.
#' 'data' can also be of type `RLum.Data.Curve` to change object values without
#' de-constructing the object. For example:
#' ```
#' set_RLum(class = 'RLum.Data.Curve',
#'          data = Your.RLum.Data.Curve,
#'          recordType = 'never seen before')
#' ```
#' would just change the `recordType`. Missing arguments  the value is taken
#' from the input object in 'data' (which is already an `RLum.Data.Curve`
#' object in this example).
#'
#' @note
#' The class should only contain data for a single curve. For additional
#' elements the slot `info` can be used (e.g. providing additional heating
#' ramp curve). Objects from the class `RLum.Data.Curve` are produced by other
#' functions (partly within [Luminescence::RLum.Analysis-class] objects),
#' namely: [Luminescence::Risoe.BINfileData2RLum.Analysis], [Luminescence::read_XSYG2R]
#'
#' @section Create objects from this Class:
#' Objects can be created by calls of the form
#' `set_RLum(class = "RLum.Data.Curve", ...)`.

## smooth_RLum() ------------------------------------------------------------
#' @describeIn smooth_RLum
#' Smoothing of [Luminescence::RLum.Data.Curve-class] objects using a rolling mean or median.
#' For methods `"mean"` and `"median"`, smoothing is performed by rolling
#' mean and rolling median with window of size `k`. Method `"Carter_etal_2018"`
#' implements a Poisson smoother for dark-background signals measured by a
#' photomultiplier tube.
#'
#' @param k [Luminescence::smooth_RLum]; [integer] (*with default*):
#' window for the rolling mean or median. If `NULL`, this set automatically
#' (ignored if `method = "Carter_etal_2018"`).
#'
#' @param fill [Luminescence::smooth_RLum]; [numeric] (*with default*):
#' value used to pad the result so to have the same length as the input.
#'
#' @param align [Luminescence::smooth_RLum]; [character] (*with default*):
#' one of `"right"`, `"center"` or `"left"`, specifying whether the index
#' of the result should be right-aligned (default), centred, or left-aligned
#' compared to the rolling window of observations (ignored if
#' `method = "Carter_etal_2018"`).
#'
#' @param method [Luminescence::smooth_RLum]; [character] (*with default*):
#' smoothing method to be applied: one of `"mean"`, `"median"` or
#' `"Carter_etal_2018"`.
#'
#' @param p_acceptance [Luminescence::smooth_RLum]; [numeric] (*with default*):
#' probability threshold of accepting a value to be a sample from a Poisson
#' distribution (only used for `method = "Carter_etal_2018"`). Values that
#' have a Poisson probability below the threshold are replaced by the average
#' over the four neighbouring values.
