Gap-Segment Derivative

Description

Gap-Segment derivatives of a data matrix, data.frame or vector

Usage

gapDer(X, m = 1, w = 1, s = 1, delta.wav)

Arguments

X

numeric matrix , data.frame or vector to transform

m

order of the derivative, between 1 and 4 (default = 1)

w

filter length (should be odd and >=1), i.e. the spacing between points over which the derivative is computed

s

segment size, i.e. the range over which the points are averaged (default = 1, i.e. no smoothing corresponding to 'Norris' Gap Derivative)

delta.wav

sampling interval (or band spacing)

Details

The sampling interval specified with the delta.wav argument is used for scaling and get numerically correct derivatives.

The convolution function is written in C++/Rcpp for faster computations.

Value

a matrix or vector with the filtered signal(s)
