coda: Chromatogram selection using the CODA algorithm
Description
The CODA algorithm calculates a so-called MCQ (Mass Chromatogram
Quality) value for every row of the input. High MCQ values correspond
with those chromatograms not containing spikes and/or a baseline.
type of smoothing: whether to use running means or
running medians
Details
The MCQ value of a spectrum is the inner product between the
standardized, smoothed chromatogram, and the length-scaled
chromatogram. In literature, a cut-off of 0.85 has been reported to
work well in selecting useful chromatograms, although this is strongly
data-set dependent.
