Identification of compounds. Each empirical spectrum is compared against a ms library.
identifyComp(Experiment, id.database = mslib,mz.range = NULL, n.putative = 3)# S4 method for MetaboSet
identifyComp(Experiment, id.database = mslib, mz.range = NULL, n.putative = 3)
The function returns an updated S4 'MetaboSet' class, where the GC-MS samples have been now aligned.
A 'MetaboSet' S4 object containing the experiment data previously created by newExp, deconvolved by deconvolveComp and optionally aligned by alignComp.
The mass-spectra library to be compared with the empirical spectra. By default, the MassBank-[2] - Mass Bank of North America (MoNa) database are employed.
The same as in alignComp. If specified already in alignComp, then there is no need to especify it again. If not, it has to be specified.
The number of hits (compound candidate names) to be returned for each spectrum found.
