PeakPickerHiRes Class Reference
[PeakPicking]

This class implements a fast peak-picking algorithm best suited for high resolution MS data (FT-ICR-MS, Orbitrap). In high resolution data, the signals of ions with similar mass-to-charge ratios (m/z) exhibit little or no overlapping and therefore allow for a clear separation. Furthermore, ion signals tend to show well-defined peak shapes with narrow peak width. More...

Detailed Description

This class implements a fast peak-picking algorithm best suited for high resolution MS data (FT-ICR-MS, Orbitrap). In high resolution data, the signals of ions with similar mass-to-charge ratios (m/z) exhibit little or no overlapping and therefore allow for a clear separation. Furthermore, ion signals tend to show well-defined peak shapes with narrow peak width.

This peak-picking algorithm detects ion signals in raw data and reconstructs the corresponding peak shape by cubic spline interpolation. Signal detection depends on the signal-to-noise ratio which is adjustable by the user (see parameter signal_to_noise). A picked peak's m/z and intensity value is given by the maximum of the underlying peak spline.

So far, this peak picker was mainly tested on high resolution data. With appropriate preprocessing steps (e.g. noise reduction and baseline subtraction), it might be also applied to low resolution data.

Parameters of this class are:

NameTypeDefaultRestrictionsDescription
signal_to_noise float1 min: 0Minimal signal-to-noise ratio for a peak to be picked (0.0 disables SNT estimation!)
ms1_only stringfalse true, falseIf true, peak picking is only applied to MS1 scans. Other scans are copied to the output without changes.

Note:
Note:
The peaks must be sorted according to ascending m/z!
