xcms (version 1.48.0)

collect-methods: Collect MS^n peaks into xcmsFragments

Description

Collecting Peaks into xcmsFragmentss from several MS-runs using xcmsSet and xcmsRaw.

Arguments

object
(empty) xcmsFragments-class object
xs
A xcmsSet-class object which contains picked ms1-peaks from several experiments
compMethod
("floor", "round", "none"): compare-method which is used to find the parent peak of a MSnpeak through comparing the MZ-values of the MS1peaks with the MSnParentPeaks.
snthresh, mzgap, uniq
these are the parameters for the getspec-peakpicker included in xcmsRaw.

Value

A matrix with columns:
peakID
unique identifier of every peak
MSnParentPeakID
PeakID of the parent peak of a msLevel>1 - peak, it is 0 if the peak is msLevel 1.
msLevel
The msLevel of the peak.
rt
retention time of the peak midpoint
mz
the mz-Value of the peak
intensity
the intensity of the peak
sample
the number of the sample from the xcmsSet
GroupPeakMSn
Used for grouped xcmsSet groups
CollisionEnergy
The collision energy of the fragment

Methods

object = "xcmsFragments"
collect(object, ...)

Details

After running collect(xFragments,xSet) The peak table of the xcmsFragments includes the ms1Peaks from all experiments stored in a xcmsSet-object. Further it contains the relevant msN-peaks from the xcmsRaw-objects, which were created temporarily with the paths in xcmsSet.
