features: Retrieves or sets the data slot of a SpectraDataFrame object.

In pierreroudier/inspectr: Storing, Manipulating and Analysis Spectroscopy and Associated Data in R

Description

Either retrieves the attributes values from the data slot of a SpectraDataFrame object, or upgrades a Spectra object to a SpectraDataFrame object by initialising its data slot by a suitable "data.frame" object.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'SpectraDataFrame'
features(object,exclude_id)
## S4 replacement method for signature 'Spectra'
features(object,safe,exclude_id,key,append) <- value

Arguments

object	a Spectra object
exclude_id	see below
value	see below
safe	see below
key	see below
append	see below

Value

The features methods return a data.frame object, while the "features<-" methods return a SpectraDataFrame object.

Methods

x=Spectra

features(object, safe=TRUE, key=NULL, exclude_id=TRUE) <- value

	object	A Spectra object
	safe	Logical. If TRUE, data is being added to the object using a SQL join (using a key field given by the key option), otherwise it is assumed the order of the rows is consitent with the order of the rows in object
	key	Character, name of the column of the data.frame storing the ids for the SQL join. Ignored if safe is FALSE.
	exclude_id	Logical, if TRUE, ids used for the SQL join are removed from the data slot after the join.

x=SpectraDataFrame

features(obj, exclude_id=TRUE)

features(obj, safe=TRUE, key=NULL, exclude_id=TRUE, append=TRUE) <- value

	object	A SpectraDataFrame object
	safe	Logical. If TRUE, data is being added to the object using a SQL join (using a key field given by the key option), otherwise it is assumed the order of the rows is consitent with the order of the rows in object
	key	Character, name of the column of the data.frame storing the ids for the SQL join. Ignored if safe is FALSE.
	exclude_id	Logical. For the features method, if TRUE, the spectra ids are added to the data.frame that is returned. For the "features<-" method, If TRUE, ids used for the SQL join are removed from the data slot after the join.
	append	Logical, if TRUE, the data is appended to any existing data. if FALSE, the data provided is erasing any existing data.

Examples

# Loading example data
data(oz)
spectra(oz) <- sr_no ~ ... ~ 350:2500

# Printing available data
features(oz)

# Promoting a Spectra to a SpectraDataFrame object
s <- as(oz, "Spectra")

# Generating dummy data
d <- data.frame(
  id = ids(oz), 
  foo = runif(nrow(oz)), 
  bar = sample(LETTERS[1:5], size = nrow(oz), replace = TRUE)
)
head(d)

# Affecting data to Spectra object
features(s, key = 'id') <- d
summary(s)

# Adding data to an existing SpectraDataFrame object
features(oz, key = 'id') <- d
features(oz)

# Replacing data of an existing SpectraDataFrame object
features(oz, key = 'id', append = FALSE) <- d
features(oz)
