Description

Removes the non-informative regions by setting the values of the spectra in these intervals to zero.

RegionRemoval(Spectrum_data, typeofspectra = c("manual", "serum", "urine"), 
                          type.rr = c( "zero", "NA"), 
                          fromto.rr = list(Water = c(4.5, 5.1)), verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

Spectrum_data

Matrix containing the spectra in ppm, one row per spectrum.

typeofspectra

Type of spectra, if not "manual", will automatically remove unwanted regions depending on the nature of spectra.

type.rr

Type of region removal method. If type.rr = "zero", intensities are set to 0; if type.rr = "NA", intensities are set to NA.

fromto.rr

List containing the extremities of the intervals to be removed.

verbose

If "TRUE", will print processing information.

Details

The presence of non-informative regions can strongly bias the subsequent statistical analysis.

The inclusive ppm interval fromto.rr is set to zero or completed with NAs for every spectrum. The ppm scale can be increasing or decreasing (i.e. from < to or from > to).

The type of spectra can be NULL to manually specify the area to be removed otherwise it is specified as typeofspectra = "serum" or typeofspectra = "urine" and the removed area are for typeofspectra = "serum": water (4.5 - 5.1 ppm) and for typeofspectra = "urine": water, uree and maleic acid (4.5 - 6.1 ppm).

Value

Spectrum_data

The matrix of spectra with the removed regions.
