Spectra 1.15

Changes in 1.15.13

• Add precursorMz<- method issue #336.

Changes in 1.15.12

• Add generic backendRequiredSpectraVariables() to allow definition of mandatory spectra variables for a backend.

Changes in 1.15.11

• Add reference to MsBackendMetaboLights.

Changes in 1.15.10

• Add new extractSpectra() generic and implementation for MsBackend. Fixes issue #5.

Changes in 1.15.9

• Restructure and reorganize documentation for Spectra.

Changes in 1.15.8

• Refactor the Spectra() constructor method: better support for initialization of backends that define their own specific parameters.

Changes in 1.15.7

• Change estimatePrecursorIntensity() to a method to avoid overrides/clashes with the same-named implementation in xcms.

Changes in 1.15.6

• Fix in selectSpectraVariables() for MsBackendMzR: ensure peaks variables "mz" and "intensity" are not by default removed.

Changes in 1.15.5

• Add new filterPeaksRanges() function to filter mass peaks by ranges on numeric spectra or peak variables.

Changes in 1.15.3

• For evaluation of the Spectra's processing queue: call functions from the MetaboCoreUtils directly through their namespace (MsCoreUtils::) to avoid errors if performed in parallel on Windows machines or if called on a re-loaded object.
• New asDataFrame() function to convert a (small) Spectra object into a long DataFrame.

Changes in 1.15.2

• Add dataStorageDataPath() and dataStorageDataPath<- methods to allow updating/adapting the path of the data storage files of backends supporting that issue #321.

Changes in 1.15.1

• Improve documentation for combineSpectra() and combinePeaks() issue #320.

Spectra 1.13

Changes in 1.13.8

• Add estimatePrecursorMz() function to estimate the precursor m/z for DDA fragment spectra from previous MS1 spectra issue #315.

Changes in 1.13.7

• Move generics backendBpparam(), backendParallelFactor() and supportsSetBackend() to ProtGenerics. Required ProtGenerics version 1.35.4 or higher.

Changes in 1.13.6

• Add filterRanges() and filterValues() functions to allow filtering of a Spectra object based on ranges or similarities of any existing spectraData variables.

Changes in 1.13.5

• Move generics to ProtGenerics. Requires ProtGenerics version 1.35.3.

Changes in 1.13.4

• Add entropy and nentropy functions to allow to calculate the (normalized) entropy for each spectrum.

Changes in 1.13.3

• Fix issue in setBackend that might cause chunk-wise processing to be not run.

Changes in 1.13.2

• Add possibility to enable and perform chunk-wise (parallel) processing to Spectra: add functions processingChunkSize, backendParallelFactor and processingChunkFactor to set or get definition of chunks for parallel processing. All functions working on peaks data use this mechanism which is implemented in the internal .peaksapply function. The Spectra object gains a new slot "processingChunkSize" that is used to define the size of the processing chunks for the Spectra. See also issue #304. This ensures processing also of very large data sets.

Changes in 1.13.1

• Fix issue with bin function (see issue #302). Addition of zero.rm parameter to prevent creation of empty bins.

Spectra 1.11

Changes in 1.11.11

Changes in 1.11.10

• peaksData,MsBackendMemory returns a data.frame if additional peak variables (in addition to "mz" and "intensity") are requested. For columns = c("mz", "intensity") (the default) a list of matrix is returned.
• peaksData,Spectra returns either a matrix or data.frame and ensures the peak data is correctly subset based on the lazy evaluation processing queue.
• $,Spectra to access peak variables ensures the lazy evaluation queue is applied prior to extracting the values.
• applyProcessing correctly subsets and processes all peak variables depending on the processing queue.
• spectraData<-,Spectra throws an error if processing queue is not empty and values for peaks variables should be replaced.
• $<-,Spectra throws an error if processing queue is not empty and a peaks variable is going to be replaced.
• Add full support for additional peaks variables to MsBackendDataFrame.

Changes in 1.11.9

• Add filterPrecursorPeaks to allow filtering peaks within each spectrum with m/z values relative to the precursor m/z of the spectrum.

• Add an example to the vignette describing how spectral similarity scores from the msentropy package can be used with compareSpectra.

Changes in 1.11.7

• Only use parallel processing in setBackend,Spectra if both backends support it.

Changes in 1.11.6
