spec_norm_var

This function standardizes the numeric spectral data in each column to have a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1 (unit variance), while preserving the wavelength column.

Enables the analysis of spectroscopy data such as infrared ('IR'), Raman, and nuclear magnetic resonance ('NMR') using the tidy data framework from the 'tidyverse'. The 'tidyspec' package provides functions for data transformation, normalization, baseline correction, smoothing, derivatives, and both interactive and static visualization. It promotes structured, reproducible workflows for spectral data exploration and preprocessing.
