EMMAgeo (version 0.9.7)

mix.EM: Function to mix sample spectres.

Description

This functions allows to mix grain-size distributions with specified proportions and defined noise levels, for example to test the goodness of the EMMA algorithm.

Usage

mix.EM(EM, proportion, noise, autocorrelation)

Arguments

EM

Numeric matrix, grain-size distribution definitions.

Each definition is in a separate row with variable contributions in columns.

proportion

Numeric vector, relative proportions of each distribution per sample.

noise

Numeric scalar, optional relative white noise levels.

autocorrelation

Numeric scalar, the degree of autocorrelation among classes. Autocorrelation is realised as running mean of the specified length. Only odd values are allowed.

Value

Numeric vector, a sample composed of known proportions of end-members.

Details

The function multiplies each end-member with the respective proportion value, sums the resulting variables, adds uniform noise and normalises the resulting mixed sample to 100 %.

# NOT RUN {
## define end-member loadings and phi vector

EMa   <- rbind(EMa.1, EMa.2)

phi   <- seq(0, 11, length.out = 80)

## mix end-member loadings
sample1 <- mix.EM(EMa, proportion = c(0.3, 0.7))
sample2 <- mix.EM(EMa, proportion = c(0.5, 0.5), noise = 0.1,
                  autocorrelation = 3)

## plot end-member loadings (grey) and resulting samples (black)
plot(phi, EMa.1, type="l", col = "grey")
lines(phi, EMa.2, col = "grey")
