In bjornbrooks/AGcurve: Functions for calculating AG-curve from x,y coordinate data

Description

Calculate the sum of every loss in a series, i.e., for the series x = 4, 3, 2, 5, 6 the cumulative loss is 1 + 1 = 2.

Usage

cumLoss(x)

Arguments

x	A numeric vector of values.

Details

x <- c(400, 500, 500, 450, 550)  # Some example elevation values
cumLoss(x)                       # Calc. cum loss (AKA tot. descent)
