The remove_spectra() function is used to discard specific spectra from (1) raw spectra list by removing them, or (2) processed spectra by removing them from the spectra, peaks and metadata objects.
Arguments
- spectra_list
A list of MALDIquant::MassSpectrum objects OR A list of processed spectra from process_spectra
- to_remove
The spectra to be removed. In the case of raw spectra: a logical vector same size of
spectra_listor from check_spectra function. In the case of processed spectra: names of the spectra as formatted in get_spectra_names in thesanitized_namecolumn.
Examples
# Get an example directory of six Bruker MALDI Biotyper spectra
directory_biotyper_spectra <- system.file(
"toy-species-spectra",
package = "maldipickr"
)
# Import only the first two spectra
spectra_list <- import_biotyper_spectra(directory_biotyper_spectra)[1:2]
# Introduce artificially an empty raw spectra
spectra_list <- c(spectra_list, MALDIquant::createMassSpectrum(0, 0))
# Empty spectra are detected by `check_spectra()`
# and can be removed by `remove_spectra()`
spectra_list %>%
remove_spectra(to_remove = check_spectra(.))
#> Some spectra are incorrect (empty, outlier length or irregular).
#> They can be removed using `remove_spectra()`
