evaluate.epl: Evaluate the equivalent path length

In planit-group/Rplanit: Radiotherapy with ion beams - planning, simulations and analysis

Evaluate the equivalent path length

Description

The evaluation is performed by matching the two cumulative distributions.

Usage

evaluate.epl(r0, v0, r1, v1, add.extrapolation = FALSE)

Arguments

r0	vector of incremental coordinates in the reference "equivalent" material
v0	vector of values in the reference material evaluated at r0
r1	vector of incremental coordinates in the actual material
v1	vector of values in the actual material evaluated at r1
add.extrapolation	evaluate the extrapolation values using a linear fit over EPL(r). If it is FALSE, it will use 1 as angular coefficient (i.e. it will assume that the teo materials are equal outside the specified coordinates: EPL = r)

Value

a function r0=r0(r1): the epl in the reference material as a function of the length in the actual material.
