Sum from collection of spectra

Description

A method to compute the sum of values across members of a collections of spectra. Computes the sum at each wavelength across all the spectra in the collection returning a spectral object.

Usage

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

## Default S3 method:
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. Currently this package defines methods for collections of spectral objects.
na.rm	logical. A value indicating whether NA values should be stripped before the computation proceeds.
...	Further arguments passed to or from other methods.

Value

If x is a collection spectral of objects, such as a "filter_mspct" object, the returned object is of same class as the members of the collection, such as "filter_spct", containing the sum of the spectra.

Methods (by class)

• s_sum(default):

• s_sum(filter_mspct):

• s_sum(source_mspct):

• s_sum(response_mspct):

• s_sum(reflector_mspct):

• s_sum(calibration_mspct):

• s_sum(cps_mspct):

• s_sum(raw_mspct):

Note

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.

A sum of transmitances or reflectances is no longer a well defined physical quanttiy, and these sum operations return an object of class generic_spct.

Objects of classes raw_spct and cps_spct can contain data from multiple scans. This functions are implemented for these classes only for the case when all member spectra contain data for a single scan, or spliced into a single column in the case of cps_spct members.
