Detailed Description

A mass trace extraction method that gathers peaks similar in m/z and moving along retention time.

Peaks of a MSExperiment are sorted by their intensity and stored in a list of potential chromatographic apex positions. Only peaks that are above the noise threshold (user-defined) are analyzed and only peaks that are n times above this minimal threshold are considered as apices. This saves computational resources and decreases the noise in the resulting output.

Starting with these, mass traces are extended in- and decreasingly in retention time. During this extension phase, the centroid m/z is computed on-line as an intensity-weighted mean of peaks.

The extension phase ends when either the frequency of gathered peaks drops below a threshold (min_sample_rate, see MassTraceDetection parameters) or when the number of missed scans exceeds a threshold (trace_termination_outliers, see MassTraceDetection parameters).

Finally, only mass traces that pass a filter (a certain minimal and maximal length as well as having the minimal sample rate criterion fulfilled) get added to the result.
