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, fftw = FALSE, threshold = NULL,
plot = TRUE, xlab = "Times (s)", ylab = "Spectral Entropy",
ylim = c(0, 1.1), type = "l", ...)

Value

• When plot is FALSE, csh returns a two-column matrix, the first column being time in seconds (x-axis) and the second column being the spectral entropy (y-axis) computed along time. NA corresponds to pause sections in wave (see threshold).

Details

See sh for computing method.
