Detailed Description

This class implements a peak picking algorithm using wavelet techniques.

The algorithm is described in detail in Lange et al. (2006) Proc. PSB-06.

This peak picking algorithm uses the continuous wavelet transform of a profile data signal to detect mass peaks. Afterwards a given asymmetric peak function is fitted to the profile data and important peak parameters (e.g. fwhm) are extracted. In an optional step these parameters can be optimized using a non-linear optimization method.

The peak parameters are stored in the meta data arrays of the spectra (see MSSpectrum) in this order:

rValue
area
fwhm
leftWidth
rightWidth
peakShape
SignalToNoise

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

Only provide this parameter if you know what you are doing (and change 'auto_mode' to '-1')! All intensities EQUAL/ABOVE 'max_intensity' will not be added to the histogram. If you choose 'max_intensity' too small, the noise estimate might be too small as well. If chosen too big, the bins become quite large (which you could counter by increasing 'bin_count', which increases runtime).
SignalToNoiseEstimationParameter:auto_max_stdev_factor	float	3.0	min: 0.0 max: 999.0	parameter for 'max_intensity' estimation (if 'auto_mode' == 0): mean + 'auto_max_stdev_factor' * stdev

Member Function Documentation

◆ addPeak_()

void addPeak_	(	std::vector< PeakShape > &	peaks_DC,
		PeakArea_ &	area,
		double	left_width,
		double	right_width,
		OptimizePeakDeconvolution::Data &	data
	)		const

protected

Add a peak.

◆ correlate_()

double correlate_	(	const PeakShape &	peak,
		const PeakArea_ &	area,
		Int	direction = `0`
	)		const

protected

Returns the squared Pearson coefficient.

Computes the correlation of the peak and the original data given by the peak endpoints area.left and area.right. If the value is near 1, the fitted peakshape and the profile data are expected to be very similar.

◆ deconvolutePeak_()

bool deconvolutePeak_	(	PeakShape &	shape,
		std::vector< PeakShape > &	peak_shapes,
		double	peak_bound_cwt
	)		const

protected

Separates overlapping peaks.

It determines the number of peaks lying underneath the initial peak using the cwt with different scales. Then a nonlinear optimization procedure is applied to optimize the peak parameters.

◆ determineChargeState_()

Int determineChargeState_ ( std::vector< double > & peak_values ) const

protected

Estimate the charge state of the peaks.

◆ estimatePeakWidth()

double estimatePeakWidth ( const PeakMap & input )

Estimates average peak width that can then be used for peak picking.

The spectra with the highest TICs are used to estimate an average peak width that can be used as the peak_width parameter for picking the complete data set. Typically, the number of peaks increases with decreasing peak width until a plateau is reached. The beginning of this plateau is our estimate for the peak width. This estimate is averaged over several spectra.

◆ fitPeakShape_()

PeakShape fitPeakShape_ ( const PeakArea_ & area ) const

protected

Returns the best fitting peakshape.

◆ getMaxPosition_()

bool getMaxPosition_	(	const PeakIterator	first,
		const PeakIterator	last,
		const ContinuousWaveletTransform &	wt,
		PeakArea_ &	area,
		const Int	distance_from_scan_border,
		const double	peak_bound_cwt,
		const double	peak_bound_ms2_level_cwt,
		const Int	direction = `1`
	)		const

protected

Finds the next maximum position in the wavelet transform wt.

If the maximum is greater than peak_bound_cwt we search for the corresponding maximum in the profile data interval [first,last) given a predefined search radius radius. Only peaks with intensities greater than peak_bound_ are relevant. If no peak is detected the method return false. For direction=1, the method runs from first to last given direction=-1 it runs the other way around.

◆ getNumberOfPeaks_()

Int getNumberOfPeaks_	(	ConstPeakIterator	first,
		ConstPeakIterator	last,
		std::vector< double > &	peak_values,
		Int	direction,
		double	resolution,
		ContinuousWaveletTransformNumIntegration &	wt,
		double	peak_bound_cwt
	)		const

protected

Determines the number of peaks in the given mass range using the cwt.

◆ getPeakArea_()

void getPeakArea_	(	const PeakArea_ &	area,
		double &	area_left,
		double &	area_right
	)		const

protected

Computes the peak's left and right area.

◆ getPeakCentroid_()

void getPeakCentroid_ ( PeakArea_ & area ) const

protected

Estimates a peak's centroid position.

Computes the centroid position of the peak using all profile data points which are greater than 'centroid_percentage' (user-param) of the most intensive profile data point.

◆ getPeakEndPoints_()

bool getPeakEndPoints_	(	PeakIterator	first,
		PeakIterator	last,
		PeakArea_ &	area,
		Int	distance_from_scan_border,
		Int &	peak_left_index,
		Int &	peak_right_index,
		ContinuousWaveletTransformNumIntegration &	wt
	)		const

protected

Determines a peaks's endpoints.

The algorithm does the following:

let x_m be the position of the maximum in the data and let (x_l, x_r) be the left and right neighbours
(1) starting from x_l', walk left until one of the following happens
the new point is lower than the original bound => we found our left endpoint
the new point is larger than the last, but the point left from the new point is smaller. In that case, we either ran into another peak, or we encounter some noise. Therefore we now look in the cwt at the position corresponding to this value. If the cwt here is monotonous, we consider the point as noise and continue further to the left. Otherwise, we probably found the beginning of a new peak and therefore stop here.

(2) analogous procedure to the right of x_r

◆ initializeWT_()

void initializeWT_	(	ContinuousWaveletTransformNumIntegration &	wt,
		const double	peak_bound_in,
		double &	peak_bound_ms_cwt
	)		const

protected

Computes the threshold for the peak height in the wavelet transform and initializes the wavelet transform.

Given the threshold for the peak height a corresponding value peak_bound_cwt can be computed for the continuous wavelet transform. Therefore we compute a theoretical Lorentzian peakshape with height=peak_bound_ and a width which is similar to the width of the wavelet. Taking the maximum in the wavelet transform of the Lorentzian peak we have a peak bound in the wavelet transform.

◆ lorentz_()

double lorentz_	(	const double	height,
		const double	lambda,
		const double	pos,
		const double	x
	)		const

inlineprotected

Computes the value of a theoretical Lorentz peak at position x.

◆ pick()

void pick	(	const MSSpectrum &	input,
		MSSpectrum &	output
	)		const

Applies the peak picking algorithm to a single spectrum.

Picks the peaks in the input spectrum and writes the resulting peaks to the output container.

◆ pickExperiment()

void pickExperiment	(	const PeakMap &	input,
		PeakMap &	output
	)

Picks the peaks in an MSExperiment.

Picks the peaks successive in every scan in the spectrum range. The detected peaks are stored in the output MSExperiment.

Exceptions

Exception::UnableToFit() if peak width cannot be determined (if estimation is set to auto)

◆ updateMembers_()

void updateMembers_ ( )

overrideprotectedvirtual

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

Also call it at the end of the derived classes' copy constructor and assignment operator.

The default implementation is empty.
