Estimates protein abundances by aiming to maintain the fragment intensity ratios between samples.
maxLFQ(X)A list of two components is returned
A vector with length equal to the number of columns of the input containing the protein abundances in log2 space.
An empty string if all quantified samples are connected. Otherwise, a string of membership of the connected components is returned.
A matrix of ion intensities in log2 space. Columns are samples and rows are fragment ions.
