ratioAreaMethod {similaRpeak} | R Documentation

## Ratio of profiles area between two profiles

### Description

Calculate and return the ratio of profiles area between two profiles covering the same range. The area of the first profile is always divided by the area of the second profile.If one area value is inferior to the threshold, the function returns `NA`.

### Usage

    ratioAreaMethod(profile1, profile2, threshold = 1)

### Arguments

`profile1` | a `vector` of `numeric` values, the first profile containing the alignment depth for each position. The `profile1` and `profile2` should have the same length.
`profile2` | a `vector` of `numeric` values, the second profile containing the alignment depth for each position. The `profile1` and `profile2` should have the same length.
`threshold` | a `numeric`, the minimum profile area value accepted to calculate a ratio.

### Value

The calculated ratio or `NA` if one profile area value is inferior to the threshold.
