removeNoId-methods: Removes non-identified features
In MSnbase: Base Functions and Classes for Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics

Description Methods Author(s) See Also Examples

The method removes non-identifed features in MSnExp and MSnSet instances using relevant information from the feaureData slot of a user-provide filtering vector of logicals.

signature(object = "MSnExp", fcol = "pepseq", keep = NULL): Removes the feature from object that have a feature fcol (default is "pepseq") equal to NA. Alternatively, one can also manually define keep, a vector of logical, defining the feature to be retained.
signature(object = "MSnSet", fcol = "pepseq", keep = NULL): As above of MSnSet instances.
