getSimilarities: Match one spectrum against a set of spectra

In CluMSID: Clustering of MS2 Spectra for Metabolite Identification

Description

getSimilarities calculates the similarities of one spectrum or neutral loss pattern to a set of other spectra or neutral loss patterns.

Usage

getSimilarities(spec, speclist, type = c("spectrum", "neutral_losses"),
    hits_only = FALSE)

Arguments

spec	The spectrum to be compared to other spectra. Can be either an object of class MS2spectrum or a two-column numerical matrix that contains fragment mass-to-charge ratios in the first and intensities in the second column.
speclist	The set of spectra to which spec is to be compared. Must be a list where every entry is an object of class MS2spectrum. Can be generated from an mzXML file with extractMS2spectra and mergeMS2spectra or constructed using new("MS2spectrum", ...) for every list entry (see vignette for details).
type	Specifies whether MS2 spectra or neutral loss patterns are to be compared. Must be either 'spectrum' (default) or 'neutral_losses'.
hits_only	Logical that indicates whether the result should contain only similarities greater than zero.

Value

A named vector with similarities of spec to all spectra or neutral loss patterns in speclist.

Examples

load(file = system.file("extdata",
    "annotatedSpeclist.RData",
    package = "CluMSIDdata"))
getSimilarities(annotatedSpeclist[[137]],
                annotatedSpeclist, hits_only = TRUE)
