The "MSnProcess" Class

MSnProcess is a container for MSnExp and MSnSet processing information. It records data files, processing steps, thresholds, analysis methods and times that have been applied to MSnExp or MSnSet instances.

Slots

files:

Object of class "character" storing the raw data files used in experiment described by the "MSnProcess" instance.

processing:

Object of class "character" storing all the processing steps and times.

merged:

Object of class "logical" indicating whether spectra have been merged.

cleaned:

Object of class "logical" indicating whether spectra have been cleaned. See clean for more details and examples.

removedPeaks:

Object of class "character" describing whether peaks have been removed and which threshold was used. See removePeaks for more details and examples.

smoothed:

Object of class "logical" indicating whether spectra have been smoothed.

trimmed:

Object of class "numeric" documenting if/how the data has been trimmed.

normalised:

Object of class "logical" describing whether and how data have been normalised.

MSnbaseVersion:

Object of class "character" indicating the version of MSnbase.

.__classVersion__:

Object of class "Versions" indicating the version of the MSnProcess instance. Intended for developer use and debugging.

Extends

Class "Versioned", directly.

Methods

fileNames

signature(object = "MSnProcess"): Returns the file names used in experiment described by the "MSnProcess" instance.
