Keep the data in R as data frame
If you further want to proceed and analyse the data with R, you can
set dataReturn = TRUE. The function will then return a data
frame consisting of all measurements of all samples of the selected
folder as well as the blanks and raw data.
results <- easyCHAMP(path="C:/users/MYNAME/Desktop/MYFILESTOBEPROCESSED/",
dataReturn = TRUE)
# only use the fully processed data of all samples:
allSamples <- results$sampleSummary You can now proceed with this data and do your analyses or plotting as usual.
Summary of each column at the bottom
The function adds a bottom line to the summary data, if desired.
There, each column is summed for custom purpose (e.g., quality control
of the function and preliminary steps). However, if you don’t like this
line to be in your data set, e.g., because you want to process the data
further, you can skipt the calculation by adding
eocsum = FALSE to the function call.
mydata <- easyCHAMP(path="C:/users/MYNAME/Desktop/MYFILESTOBEPROCESSED/",
eocsum = FALSE)NOTE: This option is not available for
easyCHAMP.particles().
Get total particle numbers
If you would like to get plastic and non-plastic particle numbers,
add particleNumbers = TRUE to the function call to get an
extra *.xls file with these numbers.
mydata <- easyCHAMP(path="C:/users/MYNAME/Desktop/MYFILESTOBEPROCESSED/",
particleNumbers = TRUE)
