compareSpectriPy: Spectra similarity calculations using matchms

In rformassspectrometry/SpectriPy: Integrating Spectra with Python's matchms

Spectra similarity calculations using matchms

Description

The compareSpectriPy() function allows to calculate spectral similarity scores using the ⁠calculate_scores module⁠ of the python matchms.similarity package package.

Selection and configuration of the algorithm can be performed with one of the parameter objects:

• CosineGreedyParam: calculate the cosine similarity score between spectra. The score is calculated by finding best possible matches between peaks of two spectra. Two peaks are considered a potential match if their m/z ratios lie within the given tolerance. The underlying peak assignment problem is here solved in a greedy way. This can perform notably faster, but does occasionally deviate slightly from a fully correct solution (as with the CosineHungarianParam algorithm). In practice this will rarely affect similarity scores notably, in particular for smaller tolerances. The algorithm can be configured with parameters tolerance, mzPower and intensityPower (see parameter description for more details).

• CosineHungarianParam: calculate the cosine similarity score as with CosineGreedyParam, but using the Hungarian algorithm to find the best matching peaks between the compared spectra. The algorithm can be configured with parameters tolerance, mzPower and intensityPower (see parameter description for more details).

• ModifiedCosineParam: The modified cosine score aims at quantifying the similarity between two mass spectra. The score is calculated by finding best possible matches between peaks of two spectra. Two peaks are considered a potential match if their m/z ratios lie within the given tolerance, or if their m/z ratios lie within the tolerance once a mass-shift is applied. The mass shift is simply the difference in precursor-m/z between the two spectra.

• NeutralLossesCosineParam: The neutral losses cosine score aims at quantifying the similarity between two mass spectra. The score is calculated by finding best possible matches between peaks of two spectra. Two peaks are considered a potential match if their m/z ratios lie within the given tolerance once a mass-shift is applied. The mass shift is the difference in precursor-m/z between the two spectra.

Usage

CosineGreedyParam(tolerance = 0.1, mzPower = 0, intensityPower = 1)

CosineHungarianParam(tolerance = 0.1, mzPower = 0, intensityPower = 1)

ModifiedCosineParam(tolerance = 0.1, mzPower = 0, intensityPower = 1)

NeutralLossesCosineParam(
  tolerance = 0.1,
  mzPower = 0,
  intensityPower = 1,
  ignorePeaksAbovePrecursor = TRUE
)

## S4 method for signature 'Spectra,Spectra,CosineGreedyParam'
compareSpectriPy(x, y, param, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'Spectra,missing,CosineGreedyParam'
compareSpectriPy(x, y, param, ...)

Arguments

tolerance	numeric(1): tolerated differences in peaks' m/z. Peaks with m/z differences ⁠<= tolerance⁠ are considered matching.
mzPower	numeric(1): the power to raise m/z to in the cosine function. The default is 0, in which case the peak intensity products will not depend on the m/z ratios.
intensityPower	numeric(1): the power to raise intensity to in the cosine function. The default is 1.
ignorePeaksAbovePrecursor	For NeutralLossesCosineParam(): logical(1): if TRUE (the default), peaks with m/z values larger than the precursor m/z are ignored.
x	A Spectra() object.
y	A Spectra() object to compare against. If missing, spectra similarities are calculated between all spectra in x.
param	one of parameter classes listed above (such as CosineGreedyParam) defining the similarity scoring function in python and its parameters.
...	ignored.

Value

compareSpectriPy() returns a numeric matrix with the scores, number of rows being equal to length(x) and number of columns equal to length(y).

Examples

library(Spectra)
## Create some example Spectra.
DF <- DataFrame(
    msLevel = c(2L, 2L, 2L),
    name = c("Caffeine", "Caffeine", "1-Methylhistidine"),
    precursorMz = c(195.0877, 195.0877, 170.0924)
)
DF$intensity <- list(
    c(340.0, 416, 2580, 412),
    c(388.0, 3270, 85, 54, 10111),

sps <- Spectra(DF)

## Calculate pairwise similarity beween all spectra within sps with
## matchms' CosineGreedy algorithm
## Note: the first compareSpectriPy will take longer because the Python
## environment needs to be set up.
res <- compareSpectriPy(sps, param = CosineGreedyParam())
res

## Next we calculate similarities for all spectra against the first one
res <- compareSpectriPy(sps, sps[1], param = CosineGreedyParam())

## Calculate pairwise similarity of all spectra in sps with matchms'
## ModifiedCosine algorithm
res <- compareSpectriPy(sps, param = ModifiedCosineParam())
res

## Note that the ModifiedCosine method requires the precursor m/z to be
## known for all input spectra. Thus, it is advisable to remove spectra
## without precursor m/z before using this algorithm.
sps <- sps[!is.na(precursorMz(sps))]
compareSpectriPy(sps, param = ModifiedCosineParam())
