calc_multipliers: Spectral weights

In photobiology: Photobiological Calculations

Spectral weights

Description

Calculate multipliers for selecting a range of wavelengths and optionally applying a biological spectral weighting function (BSWF) and wavelength normalization. This function returns numeric multipliers that can be used to select a waveband and apply a weight.

Usage

calc_multipliers(
  w.length,
  w.band,
  unit.out = "energy",
  unit.in = "energy",
  use.cached.mult = FALSE,
  fill = 0
)

Arguments

w.length	numeric vector of wavelengths (nm).
w.band	waveband object.
unit.out	character A string: "photon" or "energy", default is "energy".
unit.in	character A string: "photon" or "energy", default is "energy".
use.cached.mult	logical Flag indicating whether multiplier values should be cached between calls.
fill	numeric If fill = NA then values returned for wavelengths outside the range of the waveband are set to NA.

Value

a numeric vector of multipliers of the same length as w.length.
