scanNoise: Get intensity threshold for a given signal-to-noise ratio

Description Usage Arguments Value References

Description

This function takes a scan and finds the first non-noise ion in it based on the dynamic noise level algorithm described by Xu and Freitas (2009). It returns the intensity of that ion.

Usage

1
scanNoise(scan, sn, rho)

Arguments

scan

A matrix with mz and intensity values

sn

The required minimum signal-to-noise to be considered a real signal

rho

The modifier to use for the second lowest ion special case

Value

A numeric with the intensity of the first ion that gets accepted as a true signal
