Standard Normal Variate (SNV) Transformation

Source: R/AllGenerics.R, R/rescale.R
rescale_snv.Rd

Subtracts the mean and scales to unit variance.

Usage

rescale_snv(x, y, ...)

# S4 method for class 'numeric,numeric'
rescale_snv(x, y, ...)

# S4 method for class 'ANY,missing'
rescale_snv(x, y, ...)

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.

Value

Returns a list with two components x and y.

Examples

## Raman spectrometry
data("Raman")

## Subset from 200 to 800 1/cm
Raman <- signal_select(Raman, from = 200, to = 800)

## Plot spectrum
plot(Raman, type = "l", xlab = "Raman shift", ylab = "Intensity")


## Normalize SNV
Raman_snv <- rescale_snv(Raman)
plot(Raman_snv, type = "l", xlab = "Raman shift", ylab = "Intensity")
