Hello Cardinal users,
I am reaching you regarding an issue concerning peak picking.
To put the context : I have several MSI analysis (one per sample) over a year and in order to process my data for statistical analysis I need to create a data frame for each of my sample where the columns are the same m/z for all my samples.
The idea is therefore :
- to extract a global list of m/z taking into consideration all the m/z detected in all my samples and that combine the m/z that close (10ppm) . I already managed to do it with MALDIquant but I cannot pursue for what I want to do after. Can we do it too with Cardinal ?
- For each sample, create an intensity data frame where the lines correspond to the pixels of the sample and the columns are the different m/z from my combined reference list.
Can anyone help me with these issues ? And how to process peak picking based on a reference list created upon several samples ?
Thanks a lot in advance !
Marie
