s_quantile: Quantiles of a collection of spectra

Description

Method to compute the "parallel" quantiles of values across members of a collection of spectra or of a spectral object containing multiple spectra in long form.

Usage

s_quantile(x, probs, na.rm, ...)

# S3 method for default s_quantile(x, probs = NA, na.rm = FALSE, ...)

# S3 method for generic_spct s_quantile(x, probs = c(0.25, 0.5, 0.75), na.rm = FALSE, ..., simplify = TRUE)

# S3 method for source_mspct s_quantile(x, probs = c(0.25, 0.5, 0.75), na.rm = FALSE, ..., simplify = TRUE)

# S3 method for response_mspct s_quantile(x, probs = c(0.25, 0.5, 0.75), na.rm = FALSE, ..., simplify = TRUE)

# S3 method for filter_mspct s_quantile(x, probs = c(0.25, 0.5, 0.75), na.rm = FALSE, ..., simplify = TRUE)

# S3 method for reflector_mspct s_quantile(x, probs = c(0.25, 0.5, 0.75), na.rm = FALSE, ..., simplify = TRUE)

# S3 method for calibration_mspct s_quantile(x, probs = c(0.25, 0.5, 0.75), na.rm = FALSE, ..., simplify = TRUE)

# S3 method for cps_mspct s_quantile(x, probs = c(0.25, 0.5, 0.75), na.rm = FALSE, ..., simplify = TRUE)

# S3 method for raw_mspct s_quantile(x, probs = c(0.25, 0.5, 0.75), na.rm = FALSE, ..., simplify = TRUE)

Value

If x is a collection spectral of objects, such as a

"filter_mspct" object, the returned object is of same class as the the collection, such as "filter_mspct", containing one member summary spectrum for each value in probs with the same variable names as in the input. If a single quantile is computed and simplify = TRUE a single spectrum such as "filter_spct" is returned.

Arguments

x

An R object.

probs

numeric vector of probabilities with values in \([0, 1]\).

na.rm

logical A value indicating whether NA values should be stripped before the computation proceeds.

...

Further arguments passed to or from other methods.

simplify

logical If TRUE and a single quantile is computed, return an spectrum by itself instead of as a single member of a collection.

Deepest Curves

Parallel summaries differ fundamentally from the "deepest curves" obtained through functional data analysis (FDA) in that in functional data analysis one of the input curves is returned as the deepest one based on a decision criterion. In contrast the parallel summaries from package 'photobioloy' return one or more "fictional" curves different to any of those passed as inputs. This curve is constructed from independent summaries at each wavelength value.

Details

Method specializations compute the qunatiles at each wavelength across a group of spectra stored in an object of one of the classes defined in package 'photobiology'. Omission of NAs is done separately at each wavelength. Interpolation is not applied, so all spectra in x must share the same set of wavelengths. An error is triggered if this condition is not fulfilled.
