transform_power: Transforms the intensities by calculating their nth root
Description
Calculates the nth root of intensities with x^(1/n). The default (n = 2) calculates the square root.
This transformation can help reduce heteroscedasticity. See references for more information.
Usage
transform_power(data, n = 2)
Value
A tibble with power-transformed intensities.
Arguments
data
A tidy tibble created by read_featuretable.
n
The nth root to calculate.
