peakPeaks: Peak picking algorithm

Description

Identification of peaks in metabolomic data based on the calculation of smoothed derivates using Savitzky-Golay filter. The peak is identified if derivative crosses zero, i.e. sign(X'(i))>sing(X'(i+1)).

Usage

peakPeaks(SpSmooth, dpDerivs, Sp)

Arguments

SpSmooth

smoothed spectrum

dpDerivs

smoothed derivative of the spectrum

Sp

Spectrum of intrest

Value

identified peaks
