## load package

## create four MassSpectrum objects and add them to a list

## average all four MassSpectrum objects into a single new one

## (no labels, returns only one new MassSpectrum object)

## only average MassSpectrum objects in a group
## (e.g. useful for technical replicates)
## (two different labels, returns a list of two new MassPeaks objects)
