MALDIquant (version 1.4)

.estimateNoiseSuperSmoother: Estimates the noise by Friedman's Super Smoother.

Description

This function estimates the noise of mass spectrometry data using Friedman's Super Smoother. It is hidden by NAMESPACE because it is a private function and estimateNoise,MassSpectrum-method should be used instead.

Usage

.estimateNoiseSuperSmoother(x, y, ...)

Arguments

x

vector of x values

y

vector of y values

...

arguments to be passed to supsmu.

Value

• Returns a two column matrix (first column: mass, second column: intensity) of the estimated baseline.

Examples

## load library
library("MALDIquant");

## load example data
data("fiedler2009subset", package="MALDIquant");

## choose only the first mass spectrum
s <- fiedler2009subset[[1]];

## transform intensities
s <- transformIntensity(s, sqrt);

## remove baseline
s <- removeBaseline(s);

## plot spectrum
plot(s);

## estimate noise 
n <- estimateNoise(s, method="SuperSmoother");

## draw noise on the plot
lines(n, col="red");
