SNIP Baseline Estimation

Description

Sensitive Nonlinear Iterative Peak clipping algorithm.

Usage

baseline_snip(x, y, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'numeric,numeric'
baseline_snip(x, y, LLS = FALSE, decreasing = FALSE, n = 100)

## S4 method for signature 'ANY,missing'
baseline_snip(x, LLS = FALSE, decreasing = FALSE, n = 100)

Arguments

x, y

A numeric vector. If y is missing, an attempt is made to interpret x in a suitable way (see grDevices::xy.coords()).

...

Currently not used.

LLS

A logical scalar: should the LLS operator be applied on x before employing SNIP algorithm? Only used if method is "SNIP".

decreasing

A logical scalar: should a decreasing clipping window be used?

n

An integer value giving the number of iterations.

Value

Returns a list with two components x and y.

Examples

## gamma-ray spectrometry
data("BEGe")

## Subset from 2.75 to 200 keV
BEGe <- signal_select(BEGe, from = 3, to = 200)

## Plot spectrum
plot(BEGe, type = "l", xlab = "Energy (keV)", ylab = "Count")

## SNIP baseline
baseline <- baseline_snip(BEGe, LLS = FALSE, decreasing = FALSE, n = 100)

plot(BEGe, type = "l", xlab = "Energy (keV)", ylab = "Count")
lines(baseline, type = "l", col = "red")
