In tzerk/roughness: A Collection of Functions Related to Soil Surface Roughness

Description

This function calculates the Root Mean Square (RMS) Height after Davidson et al. 2003.

Usage

calc_RMS(data, ...)

Arguments

data	data.frame (required): A log file imported with import_Data.
...	Currently not used.

Value

A data.frame containing the RMS value.

Examples

# Load example data
file <- system.file("extdata/raw.log", package = "roughness")
data <- import_Data(file)

# find and remove outliers
data_cleaned <- find_Outliers(data = data,
                              prefilter = TRUE,
                              method = c("iqr", "sd", "mad"),
                              remove = "mad",
                              window = FALSE,
                              width = 20,
                              step = 10, 
                              hist = TRUE,
                              plot = TRUE)
                              
# de-trend the data set
data_detrend <- detrend_Data(data_cleaned, plot = TRUE)

# calculate RMS
RMS <- calc_RMS(data_detrend)
print(RMS)

# note that the function returns a data frame
str(RMS)
