Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) References Examples

The function sets negative intensities to zero.

1	NegativeValuesZeroing(Spectrum_data, verbose = FALSE)

`Spectrum_data`	Matrix containing the spectra in ppm, one row per spectrum.
`verbose`	If `"TRUE"`, will print processing information.

As explained in BaselineCorrection, negative values does not make sense and can have bad impacts on our statistical analyses. BaselineCorrection do its best to avoid negative intensity values but there might be some remaining.

This filter simply sets them to zero. After the BaselineCorrection they should be close to zero anyway because of the high penalty given to negative values of the signal after the correction.

Spectrum_data

The matrix of spectrums with the negative values set to zero.
