calculateTPASR: Calcualte Triangle Peak Area Similarity Ratio (TPASR) (of a Chromatographic Peak)

Description

Calculates the Triangle Peak Area Similarity Ratio (TPASR) of the integrated region of a chromatographic peak. The TPASR is found by calculating the ratio of the difference between the area of a triangle formed by the apex and the two peak boundaries and the integrated area of the peak over the area of the triangle.

Usage

calculateTPASR(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 TPASR value (double)
