MassSpecSettings_FindFeatures_kpic2

Source: R/class_S3_MassSpecSettings.R
MassSpecSettings_FindFeatures_kpic2.Rd

Settings for finding features (i.e., chromatographic peaks) in mzML/mzXML files using the package KPIC. The function uses the package patRoon in the background.

Usage

MassSpecSettings_FindFeatures_kpic2(
  level = 500,
  mztol = 0.01,
  gap = 2,
  width = 5,
  min_snr = 4,
  kmeans = TRUE,
  alpha = 0.3
)

Arguments

level

Mass traces are only retained if their maximum values are over level.

mztol

The initial m/z tolerance.

gap

The number of gap points of a mass trace.

width

The minimum length of a mass trace.

min_snr

Minimum signal to noise ratio.

kmeans

If TRUE, getPIC.kmeans is used to obtain PICs (i.e., features). If FALSE, getPIC is used.

alpha

If kmeans is TRUE, alpha is the parameter of forecasting. If kmeans is FALSE, alpha is not used.

Value

A ProcessingSettings S3 class object with subclass MassSpecSettings_FindFeatures_kpic2.

Details

See the findFeaturesKPIC2 function from the patRoon package for more information and requirements.
