response: Integrated response

Description

Calculate average photon- or energy-based photo-response.

Usage

response(spct, w.band, unit.out, quantity, time.unit, wb.trim, use.hinges, ...)


"response"(spct, w.band, unit.out, quantity, time.unit, wb.trim, use.hinges, ...)


"response"(spct, w.band = NULL, unit.out = getOption("photobiology.radiation.unit", default = "energy"), quantity = "total", time.unit = NULL, wb.trim = getOption("photobiology.waveband.trim", default = TRUE), use.hinges = getOption("photobiology.use.hinges", default = NULL), ...)


"response"(spct, w.band = NULL, unit.out = getOption("photobiology.radiation.unit", default = "energy"), quantity = "total", time.unit = NULL, wb.trim = getOption("photobiology.waveband.trim", default = TRUE), use.hinges = getOption("photobiology.use.hinges", default = NULL), ..., idx = !is.null(names(spct)))

Arguments

spct
an R object of class "generic_spct"
w.band
waveband or list of waveband objects or a numeric vector of length two. The waveband(s) determine the region(s) of the spectrum that are summarized. If a numeric range is supplied a waveband object is constructed on the fly from it.
unit.out
character Allowed values "energy", and "photon", or its alias "quantum"
quantity
character Allowed values ""
time.unit
character or lubridate::duration
wb.trim
logical Flag telling if wavebands crossing spectral data boundaries are trimmed or ignored
use.hinges
logical indicating whether to use hinges to reduce interpolation errors
...
other arguments
idx
logical whether to add a column with the names of the elements of spct

Value

A single numeric value expressed either as a fraction of one or a percentage, or a vector of the same length as the list of wave.bands. The quantity returned depends on the value of quantity. Whether it is expressed in energy-based or photon-based units depends on unit.out.

Methods (by class)

  • default: Default for generic function
  • response_spct: Method for response spectra.
  • response_mspct: Calculates response from a response_mspct
