sweep: Sweep Summary Statistic out of an hyperSpec Object

Description

sweep for hyperSpec objects.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'hyperSpec':
sweep(x, MARGIN, STATS, FUN = "-",
   check.margin = TRUE, \dots, 
   short = NULL, user = NULL, date = NULL)

Arguments

a hyperSpec object.

MARGIN

direction of the spectra matrix that STATS goees along.

STATS

the summary statistic to sweep out. Either a vector or a hyperSpec object.

FUN

the function to do the sweeping, e.g. `-` or `/`.

check.margin

If TRUE (the default), warn if the length or dimensions of STATS do not match the specified dimensions of x. Set to FALSE for a small speed gain when you know that dimensions match.

...

further arguments for FUN

short, user, date

handed over to logentry.

Value

A hyperSpec object.

Details

Calls sweep for the spectra matrix.

sweep is useful for some spectra preprocessing, like offset correction, substraction of background spectra, and normalization of the spectra.

Examples

Run this code

## Substract the background / slide / blank spectrum
# the example data does not have spectra of the empty slide,
# so instead the overall composition of the sample is substracted
background <- apply (chondro, 2, quantile, probs = 0.05)
corrected <- sweep (chondro, 2, background, "-")
plot (corrected, "spcprctl5")

## Offset correction
offsets <- apply (chondro, 1, min)
corrected <- sweep (chondro, 1, offsets, "-")
plot (corrected, "spcprctl5")

## Min-max normalization (on max amide I)
# the minimum is set to zero by the offset correction.
factor <- apply (corrected, 1, max)
corrected <- sweep (corrected, 1, factor, "/")
plot (corrected, "spcprctl5")
