batchAnalyteSearch: Batch Analyte detection in an MSI dataset

In CeMOS-Mannheim/moleculaR: Spatial Probabilistic Mapping of Metabolite Ensembles in Mass Spectrometry Imaging

Batch Analyte detection in an MSI dataset

Description

This applies 'moleculaR::searchAnalyte' on a given MSI dataset against a vector of provided m/z values representing analytes of interest.

Usage

batchAnalyteSearch(
  spData,
  fwhmObj,
  spwin = NA,
  m,
  numCores = 1L,
  wMethod = "Gaussian",
  verifiedMasses = NA,
  confirmedOnly = FALSE,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

spData	an S3 object of type 'sparseIntensityMatrix' holding the sparse MSI data.
fwhmObj	an S3 object of type 'fwhm' with the estimated fwhm data.
spwin	optional, an object of type 'owin'. If not given the function tries to generate the spatial window out of the coordinates of all points of the dataset stored in 'spData' (default behavior).
m	a numeric vector of m/z values of interest.
numCores	an integer, the number of cores to be used for the search, passed to 'parallel::mclapply'. Not supported on Windows machines.
wMethod	wighting method; c("Gaussian", "sum", "max", "mean").
verifiedMasses	an optional numeric vector of m/z values that are (externally) verified to be real molecular entities with a certain confidence, ex. 'mz' column of a METASPACE annotation result.
confirmedOnly	if 'TRUE', returns detections only if confirmed by 'verifiedMasses'.
verbose	whether to show progress. Ignored when 'numCores > 1'.

Value

An analyte point patter of type 'ppp' and 'analytePointPattern' containing all analyte hits identified in the MSI dataset 'spData' for the specified m/z values in 'm' taking into account the 'fwhm' information.
