These functions find peaks (local maxima) or valleys (local minima) in a
spectrum, using a user selectable size threshold relative to the tallest peak
(global maximum). This a wrapper built on top of function peaks from package
splus2R.
numeric Value between 0.0 and 1.0 indicating the
relative size compared to tallest peak threshold below which peaks will be
ignored. Negative values set a threshold so that the tallest peaks are
ignored, instead of the shortest.
span
integer A peak is defined as an element in a sequence which is
greater than all other elements within a window of width span
centered at that element. Use NULL for the global peak.
strict
logical If TRUE, an element must be strictly greater
than all other values in its window to be considered a peak.
x_unit
character Vector of texts to be pasted at end of labels built
from x value at peaks.
x_digits
numeric Number of significant digits in wavelength label.
na.rm
logical indicating whether NA values should be stripped
before searching for peaks.
Value
A data frame with variables w.length and s.irrad with their values at
the peaks or valleys plus a character variable of labels.
