--- title: "Real life example" author: "Hugo Gruson" date: "`r Sys.Date()`" output: rmarkdown::html_vignette vignette: > %\VignetteIndexEntry{Real life example} %\VignetteEngine{knitr::rmarkdown} %\VignetteEncoding{UTF-8} --- ```{r} #| label: setup #| include: false knitr::opts_chunk$set( collapse = TRUE, comment = "#>" ) has_pavo <- requireNamespace("pavo", quietly = TRUE) ``` ```{r} library(lightr) ``` This vignette has two goals: - demonstrate that `lightr` parsers produce the same output as the official software - show an example of analysis you can run once you've imported your data with `lightr` For this, we use spectral data of the beak of the [atlantic puffin, *Fratercula arctica*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_puffin). This data was collected by Dr Claire Doutrelant, using an OceanOptics spectrometer. ```{r} #| fig-cap: Atlantic puffin close up, by user john-289283 from pexels.com #| fig-alt: Close up on the face of an Atlantic puffin (Fratercula arctica), highlighting #| its colourful beak with red-orange and black hues.

To help with this, OceanOptics official software, SpectraSuite has a conversion feature, which turns `.ProcSpec` files into tab separated values files (`.txt`). So, let's start by comparing the `.ProcSpec` spectra imported by `lightr` and the `.txt` files produced by OceanOptics. ```{r} raw_files <- lr_get_spec(file.path("data", "puffin"), ext = "ProcSpec") txt_files <- lr_get_spec(file.path("data", "puffin"), ext = "txt") ``` We can visually inspect these two file using the dedicated S3 function `pavo::plot.rspec()`: ```{r} #| eval: !expr has_pavo #| fig-show: hold #| fig-alt: Two plots showing the reflectance (in percentage) for each wavelength (in #| nm) for both the data.frame generated by lightr when parsing the proprietary binary #| file format and the data.frame obtained by importing the txt files generated by #| the official parser. More than the shape of the curves, the key message of this #| figure is that both plots are identical. In other words, lightr produces results #| identical to the official parser. library(pavo) plot(raw_files, main = "Raw ProSpec files") plot(txt_files, main = "Exported txt files") ``` Spectra imported by `lightr` and converted by SpectraSuite look pretty similar upon visual inspection and we can confirm this with ```{r} all.equal(raw_files, txt_files, tol = 1e-4) ``` # Example of analysis One possibly biologically relevant question would be to look at the interspecific variability in beak colour. *I.e.*, do all puffin individuals have roughly the same colour or are some individuals brighter, more colourful than others? For this, we will look at the difference in hue and brightness on the red part of the beak for two individuals, with `pavo::summary.rspec()` function (after smoothing with `pavo::procspec()`): ```{r} #| eval: !expr has_pavo beak <- procspec(raw_files, opt = "smooth") summary(beak, subset = c("B2", "H5")) ``` Okay, these two individuals seem to differ quite a lot in terms of hue and brightness. Now, one might ask if these difference can be perceived in bird vision. We can test this with the `pavo::coldist()` function. ```{r} #| eval: !expr has_pavo vis_beak <- vismodel(beak, visual = "avg.uv", achromatic = "ch.dc") tcs_beak <- colspace(vis_beak) coldist(tcs_beak, achromatic = TRUE) ``` The values of `dS` and `dL` are below the 1 JND ([just noticeable differences](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-noticeable_difference)) threshold, which means that the colour of the two individuals, in spite of their difference, looks the same to the birds.
