Calculate band-wise radial profiles

Source: R/calculate_profiles.R
calculate_band_profiles.Rd

Computes moving-band profiles of selected cell parameters across the ring width. Each band is a window of bandwidth microns that shifts in steps of stepsize microns from the cambial side to the lumen side of the ring.

Usage

calculate_band_profiles(
  QWA_data,
  bandwidth,
  stepsize,
  sel_cell_params,
  quant_probs = NULL,
  band_rebound = TRUE
)

Arguments

QWA_data

A QWAdata object with non-NULL $cells and $rings components.

bandwidth

Width of each band in microns.

stepsize

Step size between band starts in microns.

sel_cell_params

Character vector of cell parameter column names to include in the profiles (e.g. c("la", "cwttan")).

quant_probs

Numeric vector of quantile probabilities to calculate (e.g. c(0.25, 0.5, 0.75)). If not provided, only means will be calculated.

band_rebound

If TRUE (default), the last band is shifted so its end coincides exactly with the ring width (mrw).

Value

A QWAprofile object with profile_type = "band".

Details

Requires that complete_QWAdata() has been run, as $rings must contain mrw and eww. raddistr.st is computed internally from rraddistr and mrw.
