## Performs filtering on a `ParticleSet` object

### Description

According to parameters of interests, such as size, eccentricity/shape, filters out the particles that do not satisfy the indicated requirements

### Usage

    select.particles(particleset, min.area = 1, max.area = 1000)

### Arguments

`particleset` | A `ParticleSet` object. A `LinkedParticleSet` object can also be provided as input, yet the returned object will be a `ParticleSet` object that needs to be linked again
`min.area` | Size in pixels of the minimum area needed to detect the object as a potential particle of interest
`max.area` | Size in pixels of the maximum area allowed to detect the object as a potential particle of interest

### Value

A `ParticleSet` object
