Value

A subset of x with rows corresponding to local minima or global minimum.

Arguments

x

numeric vector. Hint: to find valleys, change the sign of the argument with the unary operator -.

span

odd integer A peak is defined as an element in a sequence which is greater than all other elements within a moving window of width span centred at that element. The default value is 5, meaning that a peak is taller than its four nearest neighbours. span = NULL extends the span to the whole length of x.

global.threshold

numeric A value between 0.0 and 1.0, relative to threshold.range indicating the global height (depth) threshold below which peaks (valleys) will be ignored, or a negative value, between 0.0 and -1.0 indicating the global height (depth) threshold above which peaks (valleys) will be ignored. If threshold.range = 0 or the value passed as argument belongs to class "AsIs" the value is interpreted as an absolute value expressed in data units.

local.threshold

numeric A value between 0.0 and 1.0, relative to threshold.range, indicating the within-window height (depth) threshold below which peaks (valleys) will be ignored. If threshold.range = 0 or the value passed as argument belongs to class "AsIs" the value is interpreted as an absolute value expressed in data units.

local.reference

character One of "minimum" (eqv. "maximum") or "median". The reference used to assess the height of the peak, either the minimum (maximum) value within the window or the median of all values in the window.

threshold.range

numeric vector of length 2 or a longer vector or list on which a call to range() returns a numeric vector of length 2. If NULL, the default, range(x) is used.

strict

logical flag: if TRUE, an element must be strictly greater than all other values in its window to be considered a peak. Default: TRUE.

...

ignored

na.rm

logical indicating whether NA values should be stripped before searching for peaks.

var.name, x.var.name, y.var.name

character Name of column where to look for valleys.

refine.wl

logical Flag indicating if valley location should be refined by fitting a function.

method

character String with the name of a method. Currently only spline interpolation is implemented.

unit.out

character One of "energy" or "photon"

filter.qty

character One of "transmittance" or "absorbance"

.parallel

if TRUE, apply function in parallel, using parallel backend provided by foreach

.paropts

a list of additional options passed into the foreach function when parallel computation is enabled. This is important if (for example) your code relies on external data or packages: use the .export and .packages arguments to supply them so that all cluster nodes have the correct environment set up for computing.

Details

Function find_peaks is a wrapper built onto function peaks from splus2R, adds support for peak height thresholds and handles span = NULL and non-finite (including NA) values differently than splus2R::peaks. Instead of giving an error when na.rm = FALSE and x contains NA values, NA values are replaced with the smallest finite value in x. span = NULL is treated as a special case and selects max(x). Two tests are optional, one based on the absolute height of the peaks (global.threshold) and another based on the height of the peaks compared to other values within the window of width equal to span (local.threshold). The reference value used within each window containing a peak is given by local.reference. Parameter threshold.range determines how the values passed as argument to global.threshold and local.threshold are scaled. The default, NULL uses the range of x. Thresholds for ignoring too small peaks are applied after peaks are searched for, and negative threshold values can in some cases result in no peaks being returned.

While function find_peaks accepts as input a numeric vector and returns a logical vector, methods peaks and valleys accept as input different R objects, including spectra and collections of spectra and return a subset of the object. These methods are implemented using calls to functions find_peaks and fit_peaks.
