Mass spectrometry measurements like any other real-worls measurements are prone to systematic errors. Typically they are minimized by instrument calibration prior the analysis. Nonetheless, the calibration may drift over time or be affected by some adverse factors (temperature or space charge fluctuations).
This function estimates and removes the systematic error from the datasets.
The side effect is the recalibrated experimentalMassToCharge
values.

An instance of class "MSnID". |
Currently it employs a very simple method of zero-centering the histogram of mass measurement errors. In the future it will contain more sophisticated recalibration routines.
