calculateGaussianSimilarity: Calculate Gaussian Similarity (of a Chromatographic Peak)

Description

Calculates the Gaussian Similarity of the integrated region of a chromatographic peak. The Gaussian Similarity is found by calculating the dot product of the standard normalized intensity values of a chromatographic peak and the standard normalized intensity values of a Gaussian curve fitted to the intensities of the original curve.

Usage

calculateGaussianSimilarity(peakData, pts)

Arguments

peakData

A vector containing characteristic information about a chromatographic peak - including the retention time range

pts

A 2D matrix containing the retention time and intensity values of a chromatographic peak

Value

The Gaussian Similarity value (double)
