normMethod_TIC: Normalize Peak Intensity by Total Ion Current

In wesleyburr/subMaldi: Organization and Processing of MALDI-MS Datasets

Description

Called internally by normSpectra. Evaluates the sum of all intensities (TIC) of each spectrum in a dataset. If the TIC of all spectra are not equal, their intensities are multiplied by a normalization factor. Capable of normalizing 2-6 spectra at once.

Usage

norm_TIC(dat, mass_dat, spectra_cols)

Arguments

dat	The name of the spectral data frame, containing m/z data in the first column and spectral intensity data in subsequent columns.
mass_dat	A character string; the name of the column in dat containing the m/z data for the spectrum.
spectra_cols	A character string; the names of the column in dat containing the intensity data for the spectrs to be analyzed.

Value

Returns a new data frame including the original m/z data and normalized intensity data.

Examples

## Load sample dataset "Master2.rda"
data("Master2")

# Normalize the TIC of "Before1" and "Before2"
ex <- normSpectra(dat = Master2, mass_dat = "full_mz", method = "TIC", 
            spectra_cols = c("Before1", "Before2"))
