SNR: Compute SNR

In MKdescr: Descriptive Statistics

Compute SNR

Description

The functions compute the signal to noise ration (SNR) as well as two robust versions of the SNR.

Usage

SNR(x, na.rm = FALSE)
medSNR(x, na.rm = FALSE, constant = 1/qnorm(0.75))
iqrSNR(x, na.rm = FALSE, type = 7, constant = 2*qnorm(0.75))

Arguments

x	numeric vector.
na.rm	logical. Should missing values be removed?
type	an integer between 1 and 9 selecting one of nine quantile algorithms; for more details see quantile.
constant	standardizing contant; see mad and sIQR, respectively.

Details

The functions compute the (classical) SNRas well as two robust variants.

medSNR uses the (standardized) MAD instead of SD and median instead of mean.

iqrSNR uses the (standardized) IQR instead of SD and median instead of mean.

Value

SNR value.

Examples

## 5% outliers
out <- rbinom(100, prob = 0.05, size = 1)
sum(out)
x <- (1-out)*rnorm(100, mean = 10, sd = 2) + out*25
SNR(x)
medSNR(x)
iqrSNR(x)
