#rstats πŸ“¦ #OpenSpecy 1.0 is now out on CRAN with tons of new features including better handling of spectral data, particle analysis, and an #AI classification algorithm πŸ₯³

Check out our new man pages at http://wincowger.com/OpenSpecy-package/ for all the details. A polished #Shiny app is available here for review: https://wincowger.shinyapps.io/reviewer_app/

Shout out to @wincowger and everybody else involved in this massive team effort.

Analyze, Process, Identify, and Share Raman and (FT)IR Spectra

Raman and (FT)IR spectral analysis tool for plastic particles and other environmental samples (Cowger et al. 2021, <doi:10.1021/acs.analchem.1c00123>). With read_any(), Open Specy provides a single function for reading individual, batch, or map spectral data files like .asp, .csv, .jdx, .spc, .spa, .0, and .zip. process_spec() simplifies processing spectra, including smoothing, baseline correction, range restriction and flattening, intensity conversions, wavenumber alignment, and min-max normalization. Spectra can be identified in batch using an onboard reference library (Cowger et al. 2020, <doi:10.1177/0003702820929064>) using match_spec(). A Shiny app is available via run_app() or online at <https://openanalysis.org/openspecy/>.

@weezel Have you considered just looking up hashtags of what you are interested in and using those as the separate feeds? That is what I usually do. Some of my favorites: #OpenScience #OpenData #OpenSource #RStats #OpenSpecy #PlasticPollution

An interesting thing I discovered today about #spectroscopy. If you don't maximum normalize your spectral intensities then you can have a variety of linear relations between the intensities of similar spectra (e.g. transmission done at different times). But after maximum normalization, the lines converge to the 1:1 line making harmonized analysis much easier. Believe it or not, the one on the right is a much better fit and easier to reason about. #OpenSpecy
