compress: Compress an alignment object

Description

Many of the peaks are not similar. So, the set of pairwise similarity matrices can be compressed.

Usage

compress(object,verbose=TRUE,...)
decompress(object,verbose=TRUE,...)

Arguments

object

a peaksAlignment, peaksAlignment or peaksAlignment object to be compressed

verbose

logical, whether to print out information

...

further arguments

Value

an object of the same type as the input object

Details

Using sparse matrix representations, a significant compression can be achieved. Here, we use the matrix.csc class of the SpareM package.

Examples

require(gcspikelite)

# paths and files
gcmsPath<-paste(find.package("gcspikelite"),"data",sep="/")
cdfFiles<-dir(gcmsPath,"CDF",full=TRUE)
eluFiles<-dir(gcmsPath,"ELU",full=TRUE)

# read data, peak detection results
pd<-peaksDataset(cdfFiles[1:2],mz=seq(50,550),rtrange=c(7.5,8.5))
pd<-addAMDISPeaks(pd,eluFiles[1:2])

# pairwise alignment (it is compressed by default)
ca<-clusterAlignment(pd, usePeaks = TRUE, df = 20)
object.size(ca)

# decompress 
ca<-decompress(ca)
object.size(ca)
