Half-Width at Half-Maximum

Source: R/AllGenerics.R, R/peaks.R
peaks_fwhm.Rd

Estimates the Half-Width at Half-Maximum (FWHM) for a given peak.

Usage

peaks_fwhm(x, y, ...)

# S4 method for class 'numeric,numeric'
peaks_fwhm(x, y, center)

# S4 method for class 'ANY,missing'
peaks_fwhm(x, center)

Arguments

x, y

A numeric vector. If y is missing, an attempt is made to interpret x in a suitable way (see grDevices::xy.coords()).

...

Currently not used.

center

A numeric value giving the peak position in x units.

Value

A numeric value.

Details

It tries to get the smallest possible estimate.

Examples

## X-ray diffraction
data("XRD")

## 4S Peak Filling baseline
baseline <- baseline_peakfilling(XRD, n = 10, m = 5, by = 10, sparse = TRUE)

plot(XRD, type = "l", xlab = expression(2*theta), ylab = "Count")
lines(baseline, type = "l", col = "red")


## Correct baseline
XRD <- signal_drift(XRD, lag = baseline, subtract = TRUE)

## Find peaks
peaks <- peaks_find(XRD, SNR = 3, m = 11)

plot(XRD, type = "l", xlab = expression(2*theta), ylab = "Count")
lines(peaks, type = "p", pch = 16, col = "red")
abline(h = attr(peaks, "noise"), lty = 2) # noise threshold


## Half-Width at Half-Maximum
x <- seq(-4, 4, length = 1000)
y <- dnorm(x)

peaks_fwhm(x, y, center = 0) # Expected: 2 * sqrt(2 * log(2))
