[R] integration problem

[Petr Pikal]

Hi Christoph

I use this function to calculate an area under curve. It integrates 
along the whole wavelength set or you can restrict the calculation 
by setting dm and hm to some appropriate values. 

It also gives you two values. The first is total area to the x axis 
(y=0) and the second is only area below the curve and above line 
from min(x) to max(x).

integ1<-function (x,y,dm=-Inf,hm=+Inf)
{
if(dm==-Inf)dm<-min(x)
if(hm==+Inf)hm<-max(x)
vyber<-x<=hm&x>=dm
l<-length(x[vyber])
v<-diff(x[vyber])
z<-y[vyber][1:l-1]+y[vyber][2:l]
o<-z*v/2
osum<-sum(o)
o1<-
(y[x==min(x[vyber])]+y[x==max(x[vyber])])*(max(x[vyber])-
min(x[vyber]))/2
cista<-osum-o1
return(c(osum,cista))
}

I have also a function for specifying region for integration from 
plotted picture, if you are interested.

Cheers
Petr
