Provides an estimate of m/z peak shifts (dmz) in the real mass spectrum in respect to the corresponding m/z values in the simulated (theoretical) spectrum obtained after Type I and Type II corrections.

dmzFind(sspec, dat, span, ppm)

Arguments

sspec

A data frame containing the coordinates of points in the simulated mass spectrum.

dat

A typical Lipic or Lipic_It input data frame.

span

The "span" parameter value required by the "pick.peaks" function. This function is included in the "LIPIC" package, but belongs to the "ChemometricsWithR" package.

ppm

Accuracy threshold (in ppm) within the m/z of a peak in the simulated mass spectrum matches a measured m/z value among those listed in the third column of the input "dat" data frame.

Value

A modified version of the input "dat" data frame in which the initial dmz values are replaced by those calculated as the difference between the measured and the theoretical m/z values which matched under the "ppm" threshold.
