Maldi.train.small: MALDI-TOF MS on Cow Milk

Description

This data is from an article in Chemometrics and Intelligent Laboratory Systems about quantitative whole spectrum analysis with MALDI-TOF MS on skimmed milk from cow, goat and ewe. MALDI-TOF is a mass spectrometry technique used for identifying ionizable components, such as proteins and peptides in samples. This is the data from MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry (MS) on cow milk for four replicates of 45 different milk mixtures.

Usage

Maldi.train.small

Format

A data frame with 180 observations (rows) and 1031 variables (columns).

Columns Data type Description Values
[,1] Percent_milk numeric The percentage of cow milk (0 - 0.9631)
[,2:1031] MSdata1...MSdata6175 numeric MS data for the milk samples (-0.6186222 - 6.668699)

The variables with mass spectrometry data, Maldi.train[, 2:1031], are a quantification of molecule “size” and “charge” in a sample. For simplicity we may say that the size of molecules increases from variable 2 to variable 1031.The measurements are then the amounts of molecules of different sizes. The method is used to separate proteins, peptides and other ionizable compunds.

Details

The Maldi data was split into training data, which can be used to fit a model, and test data that can be used to evaluate the model.

This data set is a subset of the Maldi.train data (selected columns).
