An S4 Class to Represent a Set of Peaks

Slots

hash: A character string giving the 32-byte MD5 hash of the imported spectrum file.
noise_method: A character string specifying the method used for peak detection.
noise_threshold: A length one numeric vector giving the noise threshold.
window: A length one numeric vector giving the half-window size.
channel: A integer vector giving the channel number. Numeric values are coerced to integer as by as.integer() (and hence truncated towards zero).
energy_observed: A numeric vector giving the observed gamma ray energy (in keV).
energy_expected: A numeric vector giving the expected gamma ray energy (in keV).

This class retains copy construction.

In the code snippets below, x is a PeakPosition object.

get_hash(x): Get the MD5 hash of the raw data file.
get_channels(x): Get the channels of x.
get_energy(x), set_energy(x) <- value: Retrieves or sets the energy scale of x according to value.

In the code snippets below, x is a PeakPosition object.

In the code snippets below, x is a PeakPosition object.

x[[i]]: Extracts information from a slot selected by subscript i. i is a character vector of length one and will be matched to the name of the slots.
