This function returns the crest factor and localizes the different crest(s).
crest(wave, f, channel = 1, plot = FALSE, col = 2, cex = 3, symbol = "*", ...)
wave |
an R object. |
f |
sampling frequency of |
channel |

The crest factor of a time series s is calculated according to:
C = max(abs(s))/rms(s)
with rms the root-mean-square (see rms).
The function returns a list of three items
C |
crest factor |
val |
value of the crest(s) |
loc |
location of the crest(s) |
There might be several crests (maxima) along the time wave but there is a single crest factor.
