Description

Summed probability density (SPD)

Usage

1
spd(pdf, normalise = F, xrange, .cutoff = 1e-05, .res = 0.01)

Arguments

pdf

A skyscapeR.pdf object created with either az.pdf or coordtrans

normalise

(Optional) Boolean to control whether to normalize the SPD. Default is FALSE

xrange

(Optional) Array of values (min and max) for SPD if different from range of pdf

.cutoff

(Optional) Value of SPD at which point it will be cutoff to save on memory. Default is 1e-5

.res

(Optional) Resolution with which to output SPD. Default is 0.01 degrees.

# SPD of declinations
hor <- createHor(az=c(0,360), alt=c(0,0), loc=c(35,-8,25)) # flat horizon with 0 degrees of altitude
Dec <- coordtrans(Az, hor)
s2 <- spd(Dec)
