s_sum: Sum from collection of spectra

In photobiology: Photobiological Calculations

Sum from collection of spectra

Description

Method to compute the "parallel" sum of values across members of a collection of spectra or of a spectral object containing multiple spectra in long form.

Usage

s_sum(x, na.rm, ...)

## Default S3 method:
s_sum(x, na.rm = FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'generic_spct'
s_sum(x, na.rm = FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'filter_mspct'
s_sum(x, na.rm = FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'source_mspct'
s_sum(x, na.rm = FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'response_mspct'
s_sum(x, na.rm = FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'reflector_mspct'
s_sum(x, na.rm = FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'calibration_mspct'
s_sum(x, na.rm = FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'cps_mspct'
s_sum(x, na.rm = FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'raw_mspct'
s_sum(x, na.rm = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x	An R object.
na.rm	logical A value indicating whether NA values should be stripped before the computation proceeds.
...	Further arguments passed to or from other methods.

Details

Method specializations compute the sum at each wavelength across a group of spectra stored in an object of one of the classes defined in package 'photobiology'. Omission of NAs is done separately at each wavelength. Interpolation is not applied, so all spectra in x must share the same set of wavelengths. An error is triggered if this condition is nor fulfilled.

Value

If x is a collection spectral of objects, such as a "filter_mspct" object, the returned object belongs to the same class as the members of the collection, such as "filter_spct", containing the summary spectrum, with variables with names tagged for summaries other than mean or median.

Note

The sum operation is meaningful only for certain physical quantities or bases of expression.
