smooth_RLum.R

#' Smoothing of data
#'
#' Function calls the object-specific smooth functions for provided RLum S4-class objects.
#'
#' The function provides a generalised access point for specific
#' [RLum-class] objects.\cr
#' Depending on the input object, the corresponding function will be selected.
#' Allowed arguments can be found in the documentations of the corresponding
#' [RLum-class] class. The smoothing is based on an internal function
#' called `.smoothing`.
#'
#' @param object [RLum-class] (**required**):
#' S4 object of class `RLum`
#'
#' @param ... further arguments passed to the specific class method
#'
#' @return
#' An object of the same type as the input object is provided

#' Currently only `RLum` objects of class `RLum.Data.Curve` and `RLum.Analysis`
#' (with curve data) are supported!
