Description Fields Methods

This peakMethods object is the sole instance of a peakMethodStore reference class. Its responsibility is to index all registered peak detection algorithms and perform input and output check upon calling the functions. This object should not be interacted with directly but through detectPeaks methods for the different object from MSsary.

functions: A named list with all registered peak detection functions
requirements: A named list with requirements for all reqistered functions
package: A named list with the package from where the function was registered
version: A named list with the version of the package stated in the package field

getMethod(name): Get the function of the given name
getPackage(name): Get the package from where a function originates
getVersion(name): Get the version of the package from where a function originates
hasMethod(name): Check for registered functions of the given name
initialize(): Initialize the object to be empty
registerMethod(name, fun, req = list()): Register a new function with the given 'name' and optionally sets the requirements
testInput(name, scans, info): Test the provided inputs to see if they are sound and corresponds to the requirements set when the function was reqistered
useMethod(name, scans, info, ...): Runs the function given by 'name' with the supplied arguments. Input and output are automatically tested to ensure conformance.
