Cardinal (version 1.4.0)

MSImageProcess-class: Class Containing Mass Spectral Pre-Processing Information

Description

A class containing information about mass spectral pre-processsing operations. These should not usually be set by the user, and are automatically updated when processing methods are applied.

Slots

files:

Object of class character storing the file paths to the raw data files used to create the dataset.

normalization:

Object of class character describing any normalization applied to the dataset.

smoothing:

Object of class character describing any smoothing applied to the dataset.

baselineReduction:

Object of class character describing baseline correction applied to the dataset.

spectrumRepresentation:

Object of class character describing the spectrum type (profile or centroid).

peakPicking:

Object of class character describing the peak picking applied to the dataset (area or height).

centroided:

Object of class logical describing whether the data have been centroided.

history:

Object of class list containing specific information about the function calls applied to the MSImageSet object to produce the current instance and their parameters.

CardinalVersion:

Object of class character indicating the version of Cardinal.

.__classVersion__:

Object of class Versions indicating the version of the MSImageProcess instance. Intended for developer use.

Extends

Class Versioned, directly.

Creating Objects

MSImageProcess instances can be created through new("MSImageProcess"). In general, instances should not be created by the user, but are automatically generated by processing methods applied to MSImageSet objects.

Methods

Class-specific methods:

prochistory(object), prochistory(object) <- value:

Accessor and setter for the history of methods applied to the experiment dataset.

files(object), files(object) <- value:

Accessor and setter function for files.

normalization(object), normalization(object) <- value:

Accessor and setter function for normalization.

smoothing(object), smoothing(object) <- value:
