baseIRF function

Baseline subtraction from a vector, usually representing an IRF.

baseIRF(irfvec, indexlow, indexhigh, removeNeg = FALSE)

Arguments

• irfvec: Vector to subtract a baseline from
• indexlow: Lowest index to base the baseline estimation on
• indexhigh: Highest index to base the baseline estimation on
• removeNeg: Whether negative values should be replaced with 0.

Details

Currently estimates the baseline as the mean of data between indexlow and indexhigh, and subtracts the result from the entire vector.

Returns

vector

Examples

irfvec <- rnorm(128, mean=1) 
plot(irfvec,type="l") 
irfvec_corrected <- baseIRF(irfvec, 1, 10)
lines(irfvec_corrected, col=2)
