What it does
This tool performs chromatogram smoothing on mass spectrometry data using the MSnbase package in R. It applies a moving window smoothing method to the input mzML file, which helps in reducing noise and improving the signal quality.
Usage
- Input: Provide the input mzML file containing the mass spectrometry data to be smoothed.
- Parameters:
- Half window size: The number of data points on either side of the center point to include in the smoothing calculation.
- Weighted: Whether to apply a weighted moving average.
- QTOF: Indicate if the data was acquired using a QTOF instrument.
- ppm tolerance: The parts-per-million tolerance for considering mz values as belonging to the same ion.
- Function to combine intensities: Choose the function to combine the intensity values within the moving window.
- Output: The smoothed mzML file.
Input
- Input mzML File: The input mzML file containing the MSnbase data to be smoothed.
Output
- Output mzML File: The resulting mzML file after applying the smoothing algorithm.
