If the organization
of x
is "vector"
, then x
is a vector
representing a single spectrum. Compare this with ts
. If the organization
of x
is "matrix"
, then x
is a matrix
and the spectra are stored in the columns.
If the organization
of x
is "df.col"
, then x
is a data.frame
with n+1
columns, where n
is the number of spectra.
The wavelengths are stored in column 1, and the spectra in columns 2:(n+1).
This organization is good for printing to the console, and writing to files.
If the organization
of x
is "df.row"
, then x
is a data.frame
with n
rows, where n
is the number of spectra.
The spectra are stored in the last column, which is a "model.matrix"
with the name "spectra"
.
The other columns preceding spectra
(if present) contain additional data associated with
the spectra; see extradata
.
