Description and listing of data provided in the folder data/extdata

Details

The R package Luminescence includes a number of raw data files, which are mostly used in the example sections of appropriate functions. They are also used internally for testing corresponding functions using the testthat package (see files in tests/testthat/) to ensure their operational reliability.

Accessibility

If the R package Luminescence is installed correctly the preferred way to access and use these data from within R is as follows:

system.file("extdata/<FILENAME>", package = "Luminescence")
