get_peaks: Get peaks and valleys in a spectrum

In photobiology: Photobiological Calculations

Get peaks and valleys in a spectrum

Description

These functions find peaks (local maxima) or valleys (local minima) in a spectrum, using a user selectable size threshold relative to the tallest peak (global maximum). This a wrapper built on top of function peaks from package splus2R.

Usage

get_peaks(
  x,
  y,
  ignore_threshold = 0,
  span = 5,
  strict = TRUE,
  x_unit = "",
  x_digits = 3,
  na.rm = FALSE
)

get_valleys(
  x,
  y,
  ignore_threshold = 0,
  span = 5,
  strict = TRUE,
  x_unit = "",
  x_digits = 3,
  na.rm = FALSE
)

Arguments

x	numeric
y	numeric
ignore_threshold	numeric Value between 0.0 and 1.0 indicating the relative size compared to tallest peak threshold below which peaks will be ignored. Negative values set a threshold so that the tallest peaks are ignored, instead of the shortest.
span	integer A peak is defined as an element in a sequence which is greater than all other elements within a window of width span centered at that element. Use NULL for the global peak.
strict	logical If TRUE, an element must be strictly greater than all other values in its window to be considered a peak.
x_unit	character Vector of texts to be pasted at end of labels built from x value at peaks.
x_digits	numeric Number of significant digits in wavelength label.
na.rm	logical indicating whether NA values should be stripped before searching for peaks.

Value

A data frame with variables w.length and s.irrad with their values at the peaks or valleys plus a character variable of labels.
