If x is a collection spectral of objects, such as a
"filter_mspct" object, the returned object belongs to the same class
as the members of the collection, such as "filter_spct", containing
the summary spectrum, with variables with names tagged for summaries other
than mean or median.
An R object.
logical A value indicating whether NA values should be stripped before the computation proceeds.

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.
Method specializations compute the range 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 nor fulfilled.
