csh: Continuous spectral entropy

Description

This function computes the continuous spectral entropy (H) of a time wave.

Usage

csh(wave, f, wl = 512, wn = "hanning", ovlp = 0, threshold = FALSE,
plot = TRUE, xlab = "Times (s)", ylab = "Spectral Entropy",
ylim = c(0, 1.1), type = "l", ...)

Arguments

wave

data describing a time wave or a Sample object generated loading a wav file with loadSample (package sound).

f

sampling frequency of wave (in Hz). Does not need to be specified if wave is a Sample object.

wl

if at is not null, length of the window for the analysis (even number of points, by default = 512).

wn

window name, see ftwindow (by default "hanning").

ovlp

overlap between two successive windows (in %).

threshold

amplitude threshold for signal detection (in %).

plot

logical, if TRUE plots the spectral entropy against time (by default TRUE).

xlab

title of the x axis.

ylab

title of the y axis.

ylim

the range of y values.

type

if plot is TRUE, type of plot that should be drawn. See plot for details (by default "l" for lines).

...

other plot graphical parameters.

Value

• If plot is FALSE, csh function returns a vector of numeric data corresponding to the spectral entropy along the time wave.

Details

See sh for computing method.
