2. Data format

PhotoprotectionPy accepts arrays where each row represents an absorbance reading from 290 nm to 400 nm wavelength with an increment step of 1 nm (d𝜆=1, 110 rows) and, where each column is a sample.

Wavelength (nm)	Sample 1	Sample 2	...	Sample n
290	A290 - Sample 1	A290 - Sample 2	...	A290 - Sample n
...	...	...	...	...
400	A400 - Sample 1	A400 - Sample 2	...	A400 - Sample n

Where A_n corresponds to the absorbance readings at each wavelength for each sample.

The package automatically transforms the input data to a NumPy array (numpy.array). Modules will verify that the data has the appropriate dimensions.
