Description

Peak density and wavelet based feature detection aiming at isotope peaks for high resolution LC/MS data in centroid mode

Arguments

object

xcmsSet object

ppm

maxmial tolerated m/z deviation in consecutive scans, in ppm (parts per million)

peakwidth

Chromatographic peak width, given as range (min,max) in seconds

prefilter

prefilter=c(k,I). Prefilter step for the first phase. Mass traces are only retained if they contain at least k peaks with intensity >= I.

mzCenterFun

Function to calculate the m/z center of the feature: wMean intensity weighted mean of the feature m/z values, mean mean of the feature m/z values, apex use m/z value at peak apex, wMeanApex3 intensity weighted mean of the m/z value at peak apex and the m/z value left and right of it, meanApex3 mean of the m/z value at peak apex and the m/z value left and right of it.

integrate

Integration method. If =1 peak limits are found through descent on the mexican hat filtered data, if =2 the descent is done on the real data. Method 2 is very accurate but prone to noise, while method 1 is more robust to noise but less exact.

mzdiff

minimum difference in m/z for peaks with overlapping retention times, can be negative to allow overlap

fitgauss

logical, if TRUE a Gaussian is fitted to each peak

scanrange

scan range to process

noise

optional argument which is useful for data that was centroided without any intensity threshold, centroids with intensity < noise are omitted from ROI detection

sleep

number of seconds to pause between plotting peak finding cycles

verbose.columns

logical, if TRUE additional peak meta data columns are returned

xcmsPeaks

peak list picked using the centWave algorithm with parameter verbose.columns set to TRUE (columns scmin and scmax needed)

snthresh

signal to noise ratio cutoff, definition see below.

maxcharge

max. number of the isotope charge.

maxiso

max. number of the isotope peaks to predict for each detected feature.

mzIntervalExtension

logical, if TRUE predicted isotope ROIs (regions of interest) are extended in the m/z dimension to increase the detection of low intensity and hence noisy peaks.

Details

This algorithm is most suitable for high resolution LC/{TOF,OrbiTrap,FTICR}-MS data in centroid mode. In the first phase of the method isotope ROIs (regions of interest) in the LC/MS map are predicted. In the second phase these mass traces are further analysed. Continuous wavelet transform (CWT) is used to locate chromatographic peaks on different scales. The resulting peak list and the given peak list (xcmsPeaks) are merged and redundant peaks are removed.

Value

A matrix with columns:

mz

weighted (by intensity) mean of peak m/z across scans

mzmin

m/z peak minimum

mzmax

m/z peak maximum

rt

retention time of peak midpoint

rtmin

leading edge of peak retention time

rtmax

trailing edge of peak retention time

into

integrated peak intensity

intb

baseline corrected integrated peak intensity

maxo

maximum peak intensity

sn

Signal/Noise ratio, defined as (maxo - baseline)/sd, where
maxo is the maximum peak intensity,
baseline the estimated baseline value and
sd the standard deviation of local chromatographic noise.

egauss

RMSE of Gaussian fit

if verbose.columns is TRUE additionally :

mu

Gaussian parameter mu

sigma

Gaussian parameter sigma

h

Gaussian parameter h

f

Region number of m/z ROI where the peak was localised

dppm

m/z deviation of mass trace across scans in ppm

scale

Scale on which the peak was localised

scpos

Peak position found by wavelet analysis

scmin

Left peak limit found by wavelet analysis (scan number)

scmax

Right peak limit found by wavelet analysis (scan number)
