Calculate isotope mass balance

Source: R/operations.R

This function calculates the isotope mass balance from combining multiple weighted isotope abundance or delta value objects. This calculation is also implemented with an arithmetic shorthand.

mass_balance(iso, iso2, ..., exact = get_iso_opts("exact_mass_balance"))

# S4 method for ANY,ANY
mass_balance(iso, iso2, ...,
  exact = get_iso_opts("exact_mass_balance"))

# S4 method for Abundance,Abundance
mass_balance(iso, iso2, ...,
  exact = get_iso_opts("exact_mass_balance"))

# S4 method for Delta,Delta
mass_balance(iso, iso2, ...,
  exact = get_iso_opts("exact_mass_balance"))

# S4 method for Deltas,Deltas
mass_balance(iso, iso2, ...,
  exact = get_iso_opts("exact_mass_balance"))

Arguments

...

- any number of weighted isotope value objects (have to be all either abundance or delta)
exact

- whether to calculate mass balance of delta values exactly (default FALSE), not fully implemented yet

Value

weighted abundance or delta value object that represents the combination of the parameters
