MetaboDecon1D: Deconvolute 1D NMR spectrum

In metabodecon: Deconvolution and Alignment of 1d NMR Spectra

Deconvolute 1D NMR spectrum

Description

Automatic deconvolution of a 1D NMR spectrum into several Lorentz curves and the integration of them. The NMR file needs to be in Bruker format or jcamp-dx format.

This function has been deprecated with metabodecon version v1.2.0 and will be removed with version 2.0.0. Please use deconvolute() instead.

Usage

MetaboDecon1D(
  filepath,
  filename = NA,
  file_format = "bruker",
  number_iterations = 10,
  range_water_signal_ppm = 0.1527692,
  signal_free_region = c(11.44494, -1.8828),
  smoothing_param = c(2, 5),
  delta = 6.4,
  scale_factor = c(1000, 1e+06),
  debug = FALSE,
  store_results = NULL
)

Arguments

filepath	Complete path of the file folder (Notice for Bruker format: filepath needs to be the spectrum folder containing one or more different spectra (e.g."C:/Users/Username/Desktop/spectra_from_bruker"))
filename	Name of the NMR file. (Notice for Bruker format: filename need to be the name of your spectrum which is also the name of the folder) (Default: filename = NA to analyze more spectra at once)
file_format	Format (bruker or jcampdx) of the NMR file. (Default: file_format = "bruker")
number_iterations	Number of iterations for the approximation of the parameters for the Lorentz curves (Default: number_iterations=10)
range_water_signal_ppm	Half width of the water artefact in ppm (Default: range_water_signal=0.1527692 (e.g. for urine NMR spectra))
signal_free_region	Row vector with two entries consisting of the ppm positions for the left and right border of the signal free region of the spectrum. (Default: signal_free_region=c(11.44494, -1.8828))
smoothing_param	Row vector with two entries consisting of the number of smoothing repeats for the whole spectrum and the number of data points (uneven) for the mean calculation (Default: smoothing_param=c(2,5))
delta	Defines the threshold value to distinguish between signal and noise (Default: delta=6.4)
scale_factor	Row vector with two entries consisting of the factor to scale the x-axis and the factor to scale the y-axis (Default: scale_factor=c(1000,1000000))
debug	Logical value to activate the debug mode (Default: debug=FALSE)
store_results	Specifies whether the lorentz curve parameters A, lambda and x_0 and the approximated spectrum should be stored on disk (in addition to returning them). If store_results is NULL (default), the user is asked interactively where the files should be stored. If FALSE, the results are not stored. If TRUE, the results are stored in a subdirectory of R's per-session temporary directory.

Value

A decon0 object as described in Metabodecon Classes.

Examples

## ATTENTION: using MetaboDecon1D() for deconvolution is deprecated. Please use
## deconvolute() instead.

## The following example shows how a subset of the Sim dataset, consisting
## of two spectrum objects, can be deconvoluted using `MetaboDecon1D()`. The
## whole example code is wrapped into `evalwith()` to simulate user input.
## When using the function interactively, you should type in the answers to
## the questions manually.
expected_answers <- c(
     "10",   # Subfolder of your filepath, i.e. the experiment number?
     "10",   # Subsubsubfolder of filepath, i.e. the processing number?
     "y",    # Use same parameters for all spectra?
     "1",    # File to adjust all parameters.
     "n",    # Signal free region borders correct selected?
     "3.55", # Left border.
     "3.35", # Right border.
     "y",    # Signal free region borders correct selected?
     "n",    # Water artefact fully inside red vertical lines?
     "0",    # Half width range (in ppm) for the water artefact.
     "y",    # Water artefact fully inside red vertical lines?
     "n"     # Save results as text documents?
)
sim <- metabodecon_file("bruker/sim_subset")
evalwith(answers = expected_answers, {
     sim_decon <- MetaboDecon1D(sim)
})

## Deconvolute only the first spectrum of the folder "bruker/sim_subset" into
evalwith(answers = expected_answers[-(3:4)], {
     sim_decon <- MetaboDecon1D(sim, filename = "sim_01")
})
