convertDVHsmooth {DVHmetrics}

Convert between differential and cumulative DVH

Description

Convert between differential and cumulative DVH as well as between dose units, using smoothng of the differential DVH.

Usage

convertDVHsmooth(x,
                 toType=c("asis", "cumulative", "differential"),
                 toDoseUnit=c("asis", "GY", "CGY"),
                 interp=c("asis", "linear", "spline", "ksmooth", "smoothSpl"),
                 nodes=NULL, rangeD=NULL, perDose=TRUE)

Arguments

x

One DVH (object of class matrix or DVHs, multiple cumulative DVHs from one patient with multiple structures (object of class DVHLst), or multiple cumulative DVHs from many patients, each with multiple structures (object of class DVHLstLst). See readDVH.

toType

character. Convert the DVH to this type. "asis" keeps the current DVH type.

toDoseUnit

character. Convert the DVH to this dose unit. "asis" keeps the current dose unit.

interp

character. Interpolation method for the differential DVH. "asis" and "linear" for no interpolation. "spline" for spline interpolation using splinefun ("fmm" for differential, "monoH.FC" for cumulative DVHs), "ksmooth" for local polynomial regression using locpoly with kernel bandwidth chosen by the direct plug-in method using dpill, "smoothSpl" for a smoothing spline using smooth.spline, with the smoothing parameter chosen by generalized crossvalidation.

nodes

numeric. Minimum number of nodes to use in interpolation for method "ksmooth". Number of available nodes is kept as is for NULL or if larger than nodes.

rangeD

numeric. Dose range for interpolation methods "linear", "spline", "smoothSpl". If NULL it is determined individally for each DVH.

perDose

logical. Are the differential DVH volume values per unit dose?

Value

Depending on the input, an object of class matrix, DVHs, DVHLst, or DVHLstLst.
