Detailed Description

Extracts chromatographic peaks from a mass trace.

Mass traces may consist of several consecutively (partly overlapping) eluting peaks, e.g., stemming from (almost) isobaric compounds that are separated by retention time. Especially in metabolomics, isomeric compounds with exactly the same mass but different retentional behaviour may still be contained in the same mass trace.

This method first applies smoothing on the mass trace's intensities, then detects local minima/maxima in order to separate the chromatographic peaks from each other. Detection of maxima is performed on the smoothed intensities and uses a fixed peak width (given as parameter chrom_fwhm) within which only a single maximum is expected. Currently smoothing is done using SavitzkyGolay smoothing with a second order polynomial and a frame length of the fixed peak width.

Depending on the "width_filtering" parameters, mass traces are filtered by length in seconds ("fixed" filter) or by quantile.

The output of the algorithm is a set of chromatographic peaks for each mass trace, i.e. a vector of split mass traces (see ElutionPeakDetection parameters).

In general, a user would want to call the "detectPeaks" functions, potentially followed by the "filterByPeakWidth" function.

◆ detectPeaks() [1/2]

void detectPeaks	(	MassTrace &	mt,
		std::vector< MassTrace > &	single_mtraces
	)

Extracts chromatographic peaks from a single MassTrace and stores the resulting split traces in a vector of new mass traces.

Note: Smoothed intensities are added to mt_vec

Parameters

mt	Input mass trace
single_mtraces	Output single mass traces (detected peaks)

◆ detectPeaks() [2/2]

void detectPeaks	(	std::vector< MassTrace > &	mt_vec,
		std::vector< MassTrace > &	single_mtraces

◆ findLocalExtrema()

void findLocalExtrema	(	const MassTrace &	tr,
		const Size &	num_neighboring_peaks,
		std::vector< Size > &	chrom_maxes,
		std::vector< Size > &	chrom_mins
	)

Computes local extrema on a mass trace.

This function computes local extrema on a given input mass trace. It works on the smoothed intensities which must be available at this step. Initially it identifies potential maxima as peaks that have maximum intensity within a range of peak +/- num_neighboring_peaks. All such maxima in the smoothed data get added to the list of maxima. Minima are found through bisection between the maxima.

Parameters

tr	Input mass trace
num_neighboring_peaks	How many data points are expected to belong to a peak, i.e. the expected peak width (this is used to split traces and find maxima)
chrom_maxes	Output of maxima (gets cleared)
chrom_mins	Output of minima (gets cleared)

Returns a vector of indices where a maxima may occur (chrom_maxes) and a vector of indices where a minima may occur (chrom_mins).

Note: this expects that the input mass trace has been smoothed before and the smoothed intensities are available through tr.getSmoothedIntensities().

◆ smoothData()

void smoothData	(	MassTrace &	mt,
		int	win_size
	)		const

adds smoothed_intensities to internal data of mt

void updateMembers_ ( )

overrideprotectedvirtual

This method is used to update extra member variables at the end of the setParameters() method.

The default implementation is empty.
