minDiff {wrMisc} | R Documentation |
Minimum distance/difference between values
Description
This function aims to find the min distance (ie closest point) to any other x (numeric value), ie intra 'x' and returns matrix with 'index','value','dif','ppm','ncur','nbest','best'. At equal distance to lower & upper neighbour point, the upper (following) point is chosen (as single best). In case of multiple ex-aequo distance returns 1st of multiple, may be different at various repeats.
Usage
minDiff(
x,
digSig = 3,
ppm = TRUE,
initOrder = TRUE,
silent = FALSE,
debug = FALSE,
callFrom = NULL
)
Arguments
x |
(numeric) vector to search minimum difference |
digSig |
number of significant digits, used for ratio or ppm column |
ppm |
(logical) display distance as ppm (1e6*diff/refValue, ie normalized difference eg as used in mass spectrometry), otherwise the ratio is given as : value(from 'x') / closestValue (from 'x') |
initOrder |
(logical) return matrix so that 'x' matches exactely 2nd col of output |
silent |
(logical) suppress messages |
debug |
(logical) additional messages for debugging |
callFrom |
(character) allow easier tracking of messages produced |
Value
This function returns a matrix
