Arguments

x

list of Spectrum objects (either Spectrum1 or Spectrum2).

mzd

numeric(1) defining the maximal m/z difference below which mass peaks are grouped in to the same final mass peak (see details for more information). Defaults to 0; see meanMzInts() for estimating this value from the distribution of differences of m/z values from the spectra. See also parameter ppm below for the definition of an m/z dependent peak grouping.

minProp

numeric(1) defining the minimal proportion of spectra in which a mass peak has to be present in order to include it in the final consensus spectrum. Should be a number between 0 and 1 (present in all spectra).

intensityFun

function (or name of a function) to be used to define the intensity of the aggregated peak. By default the median signal for a mass peak is reported.

mzFun

function (or name of a function) to be used to define the intensity of the aggregated peak. By default the median m/z is reported. Note that setting weighted = TRUE overrides this parameter.

ppm

numeric(1) allowing to perform a m/z dependent grouping of mass peaks. See details for more information.

weighted

logical(1) whether the m/z of the aggregated peak represents the intensity-weighted average of the m/z values of all peaks of the peak group. If FALSE (the default), the m/z of the peak is calculated with mzFun.

...

additional arguments to be passed to intensityFun.

Details

Peaks from spectra with a difference of their m/z being smaller than mzd are grouped into the same final mass peak with their intensities being aggregated with intensityFun. Alternatively (or in addition) it is possible to perform an m/z dependent grouping of mass peaks with parameter ppm: mass peaks from different spectra with a difference in their m/z smaller than ppm of their m/z are grouped into the same final peak.

The m/z of the final mass peaks is calculated with mzFun. By setting weighted = TRUE the parameter mzFun is ignored and an intensity-weighted mean of the m/z values from the individual mass peaks is returned as the peak's m/z.
