waves - Vis-NIR Spectral Analysis Wrapper
Originally designed application in the context of
resource-limited plant research and breeding programs, 'waves'
provides an open-source solution to spectral data processing
and model development by bringing useful packages together into
a streamlined pipeline. This package is wrapper for functions
related to the analysis of point visible and near-infrared
reflectance measurements. It includes visualization, filtering,
aggregation, preprocessing, cross-validation set formation,
model training, and prediction functions to enable open-source
association of spectral and reference data. This package is
documented in a peer-reviewed manuscript in the Plant Phenome
Journal <doi:10.1002/ppj2.20012>. Specialized cross-validation
schemes are described in detail in Jarquín et al. (2017)
<doi:10.3835/plantgenome2016.12.0130>. Example data is from
Ikeogu et al. (2017) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0188918>.
