ratioToPpm {wrMisc}

Convert ratio to ppm

Description

This function transforms ratio 'x' to ppm (parts per million). If 'y' not given (or different length as 'x'), then 'x' is assumed as ratio otherise rations are constructed as x/y is used lateron. Does additional checking : negative values not expected - will be made absolute !

Usage

ratioToPpm(
  x,
  y = NULL,
  nSign = NULL,
  silent = FALSE,
  debug = FALSE,
  callFrom = NULL
)

Arguments

x

(numeric) main input

y

(numeric) optional value to construct ratios (x/y). If NULL (or different length as 'x'), then 'x' will be considered as ratio.

nSign

(numeric) number of significan digits

silent

(logical) suppress messages

debug

(logical) additional messages for debugging

callFrom

(character) allow easier tracking of messages produced

Value

This function returns a numeric vector of ppm values

Examples

set.seed(2017); aa <- c(1.000001,0.999999,1+rnorm(10,0,0.001))
cbind(x=aa,ppm=ratioToPpm(aa,nSign=4))
