subtractMZ {msPurity} | R Documentation

## Subtract MZ values based on ppm tolerance and noise ratio

### Description

This function is intended for blank subtraction of mz values from two peaklists. It takes in 2 vectors of mz values and 2 coresponding vectors of Intensity values.

The second mz values are subtracted from the first set within an MZ tolerance.

However, if the mz match but the intensity is above a defined threshold then they are not subtracted

### Usage

    subtractMZ(mz1, mz2, i1, i2, ppm = 5, s2bthres = 10)

### Arguments

`mz1` | vector = mz values to start with
`mz2` | vector = mz values to subtract
`i1` | vector = i values for mz1
`i2` | vector = i values for mz2
`ppm` | numeric = ppm tolerance
`s2bthres` | numeric = threshold for the samp2blank (i1/i2)

### Value

a vector of the remaining mz values

### Examples

    mz1 <- c(100.001, 200.002, 300.302)
    mz2 <- c(100.004, 200.003, 500.101)
    i1 <- c(100, 100, 100)
    i2 <- c(100, 10000, 100)

    subtractMZ(mz1, mz2, i1, i2, ppm=5, s2bthres =10)
