Usage

align(pVec, eps = 0.003)

Arguments

pVec

A vector of peaks.

eps

A user specified precision of peak position.

Value

A vector of aligned peaks.

f

a matrix of two columns representing a spectrum, with the first column the m/z value and second the intensity

signal to noise ratio criterion for peak detection

span

parameter for estimating local variance before peak detection; default is 81 points, that is, 40 points to the left and right of a point of which the variance is being estimated.

sm.span

parameter for smoothing the spectrum before peak detection; default is 11 points, that is, 5 points to the left and right of a point being smoothed

...

further arguments that get passed on to plot.

Details

A spectrum is smoothed first using the nearest ‘span’ neighbours. A larger span ‘sm.span’ is needed to estimate the local variation so that it is not overestimated due to the peaks nearby. Then potential peaks are identified using Ripley's ‘peaks’ function with ‘span’ points.

Peaks that satify the conditions that the (smoothed) signal to noise ratio is greater than ‘SoN’ and that the smoothed signal is greater than 1.64 * mad(sm) are returned.

Value

A data frame with five components, ‘peak’,‘smooth’,‘mz’ and ‘sigmas’, each of length the number of rows in ‘f’. ‘peak’ is logical indicating whethere there is a peak or not (Y/N), ‘smooth’ the smooth of the spectrum, ‘mz’ the same as ‘f[,1]’, ‘sigmas’ the estimates of local variation and ‘area’ the area associated with each peak after the first pass.

The default value is 3, meaning that a peak is bigger than both of its neighbors. Local noise is definedas an element minus the mean of all elements within a window of width ‘span’ centered at that element. Local standard deviation of an element is defined as the standard deviation of all elements within a window of width ‘span’ centered at that element.

Quality Check on a Set of Spectra

Description

Compute three quality parameters for a set of spectra.

Usage

a Matrix where the baseline-subtracted spectra are stored column wise.

peakinfofile

Details

The quality parameters are computed a la fashion de Mani. 1. Estimate noise by moving average with a 5 point window. 2. Estimate the noise envelop by 3 times the standard deviation of noise in a 251 point moving window. 3. Compute the area under the baseline-subtracted curve, area0. 4. Compute the area after subtracting the noise envelop from the baseline-subtracted curve, area1. 5. Parameter 'Quality' is defined as area1/area0. 6. Parameter 'Retain' is defined as the number of points with height above 5 times the noise envelop over total number of points in the spectrum. 7. Detect peaks in each spectrum by getPeaks or Ciphergen software. 8. Parameter 'peak' is defined as the number of peaks in a spectrum divided by the mean number of peaks across spectra.

A spectrum is considered to be of poor quality if Quality<0.4, Retain<0.1 and peak<0.5 simultaneously.

Value
