scale_auto: Scale intensities of features using autoscale

In metamorphr: Tidy and Streamlined Metabolomics Data Workflows

Scale intensities of features using autoscale

Description

Scales the intensities of all features using

\widetilde{x}_{ij}=\frac{x_{ij}-\overline{x}_{i}}{s_i}

where \widetilde{x}_{ij} is the intensity of sample j, feature i after scaling, x_{ij} is the intensity of sample j, feature i before scaling, \overline{x}_{i} is the mean of intensities of feature i across all samples and {s_i} is the standard deviation of intensities of feature i across all samples. In other words, it subtracts the mean intensity of a feature across samples from the intensities of that feature in each sample and divides by the standard deviation of that feature. For more information, see the reference section.

Usage

scale_auto(data)

Arguments
