signal_integrate {gamma}

Signal Integration

Description

Signal Integration

Usage

signal_integrate(object, background, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'GammaSpectrum,missing'
signal_integrate(object, range = NULL, energy = FALSE)

## S4 method for signature 'GammaSpectrum,GammaSpectrum'
signal_integrate(object, background, range = NULL, energy = FALSE)

## S4 method for signature 'GammaSpectrum,numeric'
signal_integrate(object, background, range = NULL, energy = FALSE)

## S4 method for signature 'GammaSpectra,missing'
signal_integrate(object, range = NULL, energy = FALSE, simplify = TRUE)

## S4 method for signature 'GammaSpectra,GammaSpectrum'
signal_integrate(
  object,
  background,
  range = NULL,
  energy = FALSE,
  simplify = TRUE
)

## S4 method for signature 'GammaSpectra,numeric'
signal_integrate(
  object,
  background,
  range = NULL,
  energy = FALSE,
  simplify = TRUE
)

Arguments

object

A GammaSpectrum or GammaSpectra object.

background

A GammaSpectrum object.

...

Currently not used.

range

A length-two numeric vector giving the energy range to integrate within (in keV).

energy

A logical scalar: TODO?

simplify

A logical scalar: should the result be simplified to a matrix? The default value, FALSE, returns a list.

Details

It assumes that each spectrum has an energy scale.

Value

If simplify is FALSE (the default) returns a list of numeric vectors (the signal value and its error), else returns a matrix.
