normalize_data: Normalize peak table or chromatograms

In ethanbass/chromatographR: Chromatographic Data Analysis Toolset

Normalize peak table or chromatograms

Description

Normalizes peak table or list of chromatograms by specified column in sample metadata. Metadata must first be attached to peak_table using attach_metadata.

Usage

normalize_data(
  peak_table,
  column,
  chrom_list,
  what = c("peak_table", "chrom_list"),
  by = c("meta", "peak")
)

Arguments

peak_table	A 'peak_table' object
column	The name of the column containing the weights.
chrom_list	List of chromatograms for normalization. The samples must be in same order as the peak_table. If no argument is provided here, the function will try to find the chrom_list object used to create the provided peak_table.
what	'peak_table' or list of chromatograms ('chrom_list').
by	Whether to normalize by a column in sample metadata (meta) or by a column in the peak table itself (peak).

Value

A peak_table object where the peaks are normalized by the mass of each sample.
