Detailed Description

The result of quantitation calculations applied to peptide summary.

Each ms_protein hit from the ms_peptidesummary can have any number of peptide matches (ms_ms1quant_match) that contribute to its protein ratios.

Peptide ratios are identified by the index key (0..getNumMatches()-1) identifying the ms_ms1quant_match (ms_peptide_quant_key(int ID)).

Protein ratios are identified by protein accession and database index.

As the quantitation results are loading (loadCdbFile() or loadXmlFile()), the protein hits references to the quantitation peptide ratio results validated with the current ms_peptidesummary. These will normally match but may not if, for instance, the peptide summary has been re-calculated since the quantitation results were generated. If a protein has changed its hit reference in the peptide summary (but can still be found by its accession, in any database) a warning message is added to the ms_errors to indicate that the protein reference has been updated. If a protein is no longer present in the peptide summary then a warning message is added to the ms_errors to indicate that the protein was not found.

Example code to load quantitation results and list protein ratios:

void listProteins(const ms_peptidesummary & pepsum, const ms_quant_method & method, const char * cdbFilename, const char * cacheFilename)
{
    ms_ms1quantitation quant(pepsum, method);
    quant.loadCdbFile(cdbFilename, cacheFilename);
    for (int iHit = 1; iHit <= pepsum.getNumberOfHits(); ++iHit)
    {
        ms_protein * hit = pepsum.getHit(iHit);
        cout << endl << pepsum.getProteinDescription(hit->getAccession().c_str(), hit->getDB()) << endl;
        const std::vector<const matrix_science::ms_quant_ratio*> & proteinRatios = quant.getProtocol()->getProteinRatios();
        for (unsigned iRatio = 0; iRatio < proteinRatios.size(); ++iRatio)
        {
            std::string ratioName = proteinRatios[iRatio]->getName();
            ms_protein_quant_ratio rat = quant.getProteinRatio(hit->getAccession(), hit->getDB(), ratioName);
            if (!rat.isMissing())
            {
                cout << "    " << ratioName << " = " << rat.getValue() << endl;
            }
        }
    }
}

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ MERGE_QUANT_RESULTS_FLAGS

Enum for mergeQuantitationResults()

Enumerator
MERGE_QUANT_QUERY_NUMBERS_ARE_FROM_MERGED_RESULTS 

For replicate, each subproject uses the merged results. (For precursor, each subproject uses its own search result)

MERGE_QUANT_MERGE_COMPONENTS_INTO_QUANT_MATCH 

For replicate, we create a component in one file, based on the match to the same query in another file. Merge these components into one ms_ms1quant_match.

MERGE_QUANT_USE_COMPONENT_FILE_INDEX_TO_FIND_XIC 

For replicate, the XIC for a particular component is saved saved in the relevant file, available using ms_quant_component::getFileIndex(). For precursor, all components can be in one subproject file.

MERGE_QUANT_APPLY_THRESHOLDS_AFTER_MERGE 

This shouldn't be done for replicate, because the ratios will all be incorrect until they are recalculated after calling mergeQuantitationResults()

MERGE_QUANT_DEFAULT_PRECURSOR_METHOD 

Use this for any precursor method.

MERGE_QUANT_DEFAULT_REPLICATE_METHOD 

Use this for any replicate method.

◆ MS1QUANT_BUGFIX_NUM

bugNum values for isDataCached().

If loaded from a cdb file from Distiller 2.7 or earlier, then the cache file may not contain data for later improvements. While this does not affect functionality, it may impact performance. For example, bug#12409 means that unnormalised peptide ratios are saved in the cdb file, allowing for rapid disabling of normalisation without requiring requantitation

See Using enumerated values and static const ints in Perl, Java, Python and C# and ms_peptidesummary::isDataCached(),

Enumerator
BUGFIX_12409 

Distiller 2.7 or earlier save normalised peptide ratios to the cdb file. If this method returns false, the enabling and disabling normalisation is not possible from within msparser and requires the data to be requantitated.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ms_ms1quantitation()

ms_ms1quantitation ( const ms_peptidesummary summary,
const ms_quant_method method 
)

Constructor: given a peptide summary and a quantitation method, prepare for data processing.

ms_ms1quantitation does not calculate the quantitation matches; it loads in previously calculated and stored matches but the peptide and protein ratios are re-calculated as required.

After contructing the ms_ms1quantitation, the quantitation results should be loaded using loadCdbFile() or loadXmlFile().

Parameters
summaryMascot results file to quantitate. Note that you must first validate the embedded XML sections of the results file. Either pass the schema directory to the ms_mascotresfilebase constructor or use ms_mascotresfilebase::setXMLschemaFilePath().
methodQuantitation method to use. If the results are being taken from a Distiller project file, then the quantitation method from the ms_distiller_data should be used.

◆ addMatchInferred()

matrix_science::ms_ms1quant_match addMatchInferred ( const ms_ms1quant_match siblingMatch,
int  newCharge 
)

Add an inferred peptide match to the quantitation results.

Parameters
siblingMatchThe identified match the inferred match is derived from
newChargeThe charge state of the inferred match
Returns
the newly created and added ms_ms1quant_match object

◆ addMatchPeptide()

void addMatchPeptide ( matrix_science::ms_protein hit,
matrix_science::ms_peptide peptide,
const matrix_science::ms_quant_component component,
const std::string &  matchBelongsToComponent,
const int  thisSubProjectId = matrix_science::ms_quant_file_index::file_index_value_not_set 
)

Add a quantitation peptide match to a protein hit.

For Replicate, this is only called from the subproject quantitation, so only add a 'file_index' for thisSubProjectId, and therefore only use perFileIndex_[0]

Parameters
hitThe protein hit the peptide quantitation match is associated with
peptideThe peptide
componentThe quantitation component the match is associated with
matchBelongsToComponentis used to determine whether to call ms_ms1quant_match::addIdentifiedComponent() or ms_ms1quant_match::addCreatedComponent() because for MS1 label free we need a created component if there's no match in our file. Pass an empty string for protocols other than label free
thisSubProjectIddefaults to matrix_science::ms_quant_file_index::file_index_value_not_set and is used to set the file_index in the ms_ms1quant_match_component

◆ addMatchStatus()

Add the quantitation status for the protein-peptide match to the quantitation results.

Adds the status of a peptide match assigned to the specified protein to the quantitation results

Parameters
peptideThe peptide associated with the quantitation match
statusThe peptide quantitation match status
hitThe protein hit the peptide match is associated with. Do not pass this parameter for unassigned peptide matches

◆ addPeptideQuantKey()

void addPeptideQuantKey ( const std::string &  accession,
int  dbIdx,

◆ countDistinctPeptides()

int countDistinctPeptides ( const std::vector< ms_peptide_quant_key > &  activeKeys) const
virtual

Get the number of distinct peptides in the list of active candidates.

In ms_ms1quantitation and ms_ms2quantitation, peptides are treated as distinctly different only if they have a difference in their peptide string.

Parameters
activeKeysPeptide quant keys that are included in the quantitation of a protein.
Returns
The number of distinct peptides.

Reimplemented from ms_quantitation.

matrix_science::ms_peptide_quant_key_vector includeKeys,
matrix_science::ms_peptide_quant_key_vector excludeKeys 
) const

Average protocol only: get the intensity of the protein based on its component peptide intensities.

The number of peptide intensities associated with a protein will typically not be the same as then number to be used for the Average protocol, see setAverageNumPeptides(). If there are insufficient peptide intensities then the sample size will still be set (less than the number required). If there are sufficient peptide intensities then the sample size is set to the total number and the average is set to the average of the peptide intensities used (typically not the entire sample).

The average returned is that of the grouped intensities. Each peptide ratio group is summed and then the average is taken of those sums.

See Multiple return values in Perl, Java, Python and C#.

Parameters
[in]accessionThe protein accession.
[in]dbIdxThe protein database index.
[out]averageIntensityReturns the average of the peptide intenties that are selected.
[out]sampleSizeReturns the number of different peptide groups available; after grouping by selection type.

◆ getPeptideQuantKeys()

ms_peptide_quant_key_vector getPeptideQuantKeys ( const std::string &  accession,
int  dbIdx 
) const
inherited

Look up peptide quant keys associated with a given protein, if any.

In ms_ms2quantitation, the list of peptide quant keys associated with the given protein is immutable, as the keys are derived from q,p values in the Mascot results file. The list does not contain all q,p values, but only those that 1) have component intensities and 2) pass the quality thresholds. Unless the data quality is extremely good, this list will always have fewer elements than the actual peptide matches assigned to the protein hit.

In ms_customquantitation, the peptide-to-protein mapping can be altered with ms_customquantitation::addPeptideQuantKey() and ms_customquantitation::removePeptideQuantKey().

Parameters
accessionThe protein accession.
dbIdxThe protein database index.
Returns
A vector of peptide quant keys associated with the protein.

◆ getPeptideRatio()

ms_peptide_quant_ratio getPeptideRatio ( const ms_peptide_quant_key key,
const std::string &  ratioName 
) const
virtualinherited

Given peptide quant key and ratio name, return the corresponding peptide ratio data.

Often, most peptide matches in a Mascot results file have no ratio data. For example, the peptide match could be non-significant or not quantitable (quality check fails); or with Reporter or Multiplex protocol, the MS/MS spectrum may not contain all component intensities required for ratio calculation.

If hasPeptideRatio(const ms_peptide_quant_key&, std::string) const returns false for the given peptide quant key and ratio name, then the peptide ratio object returned by this method represents an undefined ("missing") value.

Using the Average protocol in ms_customquantitation: If quantitation protocol is Average, peptide ratios are interpreted as raw intensity values. It is usually meaningless to define more than one ratio name in this case.

Parameters
keyThe peptide quant key of the peptide ratio.
ratioNameThe name of the ratio.
Returns
The peptide ratio. If hasPeptideRatio() returns false, the field values of the object returned by this method are undefined.

Implements ms_quantitation.

◆ getPeptideRatioNormalisationBase()

double getPeptideRatioNormalisationBase ( const std::string &  ratioName) const
inherited

Get the peptide ratio normalisation base of the given ratio name.

Using the Average protocol in ms_customquantitation: If quantitation protocol is Average, peptide ratio normalisation has no meaning. It is strongly recommended to not set normalisation constants.

Parameters
ratioNamePeptide ratio name.
Returns
The current peptide ratio normalisation base, or 1 if it hasn't been set.

◆ getPeptideStatus()

matrix_science::ms_ms1quant_peptide_status getPeptideStatus ( int  index) const

protectedinherited

Find the peptide quant keys associated with the protein, collect their unique peptide ratios, remove outliers (if desired) and return the values as the sample of peptide ratios.

This method uses getSortedFinitePeptideRatioValues() internally to collect the vector of peptide ratios. If there are no peptide quant keys associated with the protein, or if no peptide ratios are associated with with those peptide quant keys, then sample, logSample, activeKeys and inactiveKeys will be empty and normalityPvalue will have an undefined value.

Parameters

dbIdxProtein database index.
ratioNameName of the ratio.
includeKeysPrevent these peptide quant keys from being excluded.
excludeKeysPrevent these peptide quant keys from being included.
samplePeptide ratios associated with ratioName and the protein's peptide quant keys, in numerically increasing order.

For ms_ms2quantitation, you cannot change the protocol settings, component definitions or peptide quality settings. You must create a new object with the new settings instead. You are free to change how protein ratios are calculated and set new normalisation parameters. These changes will be reflected in this method's output value.

For ms_customquantitation, same restrictions apply, although it makes little difference, as the class does not use any protocol settings, component definitions or peptide quality settings.

Parameters
cdbFilenameThe path and filename of the CDB file containing the quantitation results.
cacheFilenameThe path and filename of the file containing the quantitation cache data.
revalidateQualityThresholdsIf true, the MS/MS peptide match evidence will be retested against the method quality thresholds. If no settings have been changed, this parameter should be set to false as re-evaluating the thresholds can lose user selections. However, if this parameter is incorrectly set to false, then misleading quantitation results may be obtained. [default=true]
Returns
True if the files were loaded successfully.

◆ loadXmlFile()

bool loadXmlFile ( const std::string &  filename,
const std::string &  xmlSchemaPath 
)

Load quantitation results from an XML file. The schema is loaded from the location known to the.

This uses the ms_mascotresfilebase attached to the ms_peptidesummary supplied in the constructor. If no schema location was specified to the ms_mascotresfilebase then loading the XML file will fail.

If the function fails, any errors are reported in the (base class) ms_errors object.

A warning message is added to ms_errors to indicate whenever a protein reference has been changed or removed because the peptide summar results do not match the quantitation results.

If the schema path contains spaces, it should be prefixed with "file:///" and the spaces should be replaced with "%20"

Parameters
filenameThe path and filename of the file to load.
xmlSchemaPathThe folder where the quantitation XML schema files (XSD) can be found.
Returns
True if the file was loaded successfully.

◆ mergeQuantitationResults() [1/2]

bool mergeQuantitationResults ( const std::vector< std::string > &  cdbFilenames,
const std::vector< std::string > &  cacheFilenames,
const MERGE_QUANT_RESULTS_FLAGS  flags,
const matrix_science::ms_quant_method originalMethod = 0 
)

Merges the quantitation results from matched pairs of cdb files.

This method merges the passed pairs of cdb files into the current object.

To use it, create a new ms_ms1quantitation::ms_ms1quantitation() object, passing in the ms_peptidesummary object for the merged search results and the quantitation method for the new merged results.

If you have changed the quantitation quality settings, you should pass in a pointer to the original quantitation settings. This method will then compare between the new and original settings. If the changed settings cause a change which cannot be handled within the ms_ms1quantitation class, then error details will be set and the method will return false. For example, if you enabled mass-time-matching when the original dataset has this setting disabled then additional matches would need quantification carrying out from within Mascot Distiller.

Parameters
cdbFilenamesVector containing the paths and filenames of the Mascot Distiller quantitation results cdb files to merge.
cacheFilenamesVector containing the paths and filenames of the Mascot Distiller quantitation cache cdb files to merge.
flagsis one or more ms_ms1quantitation::MERGE_QUANT_RESULTS_FLAGS bitwise ORed together
originalMethodOptional pointer to the original quantitation method. Set this only if the passed method is different.
Returns
true if successful. If false is returned, call getLastError() to see the error that was encountered.

◆ removeMatch()

void removeMatch ( matrix_science::ms_peptide_quant_key  matchKey)

Remove the specified peptide match from the results.

Parameters
matchKeyThe identifier of the peptide quantitation match

◆ removePeptideQuantKey()

void removePeptideQuantKey ( const std::string &  accession,
int  dbIdx,
const ms_peptide_quant_key key 
)
inherited

Deassociate a peptide quant key from the given protein.

Parameters
accessionProtein accession.
dbIdxProtein database index.
keyPeptide quant key.

◆ removePeptideRatio()

void removePeptideRatio ( const ms_peptide_quant_key key,
const std::string &  ratioName 
)
inherited

Remove a particular peptide ratio.

However, the protein-peptide mapping related to the peptide quant key will not be changed.

Parameters
keyPeptide quant key.
ratioNameRatio name.

◆ removePeptideRatioNormalisationBase()

void removePeptideRatioNormalisationBase ( const std::string &  ratioName)
inherited

Reset the peptide ratio normalisation base of the given ratio name.

Resetting means the report ratio normalisation constant is set to 1.0. This has the same effect as calling setPeptideRatioNormalisationBase() with b = 1.

In ms_ms2quantitation, resetting a normalisation constant is possible even if normalisation settings have been configured with setQuantNormalisation() and normalisePeptideRatios() has been called. It is generally not a good idea to reset normalisation bases, because it will lead to inconsistent peptide ratios.

Parameters
ratioNameRatio name whose normalisation base is to be reset.

◆ removePeptideRatioNormalisationBases()

void removePeptideRatioNormalisationBases ( )
inherited

Reset all peptide ratio normalisation bases.

Resetting all report ratio normalisation bases means all peptide and protein ratios become unnormalised.

In ms_ms2quantitation, resetting a normalisation constant is possible even if normalisation settings have been configured with setQuantNormalisation() and normalisePeptideRatios() has been called. It is generally not a good idea to reset normalisation bases, because it will lead to inconsistent peptide ratios.

◆ saveCdbFile()

bool saveCdbFile ( const std::string &  cdbFilename,
const std::string &  cacheFilename,
bool  createEmptyMissingComponents = false 
)

Save the results to a matched pair of files.

Distiller stores these in an MDRO project file (*.rov) in streams 3000+n and 8000+n where n is the value in the projectStream attribute of the QuantResult from the Quantitation folder.

If cdbFilename already exists and can be opened as a CDB file, then this function just returns true immediately.

Parameters
cdbFilenameThe path and filename of the CDB file to receive the quantitation results.
cacheFilenameThe path and filename of the CDB file to receive the quantitation cache data.
createEmptyMissingComponentsshould be set to true for cases like the Replicate protocol where an individual raw file does not have the other components. The CDB file expects a component for each item component specified in the method.
Returns
True if the file was saved successfully.

◆ saveXmlFile()

bool saveXmlFile ( const std::string &  xmlFilename,
bool  completeReport,
bool  saveTimeAlignmentData = false 
)

Save the quantitation results to an XML file.

The schema for the XML file is: distiller_quantitation_2.xsd

Some ratios calculations will results in an 'invalid' number, for example, because of no data (NaN) or division by zero. In these cases, the XML will have additional element(s), with ms_ms1quant_match_ratio::ratioStatusCode to describe them.

To simplify code for consumers of the xml, the 'value' saved in the xml is converted to a finite value accordingly:

IEEE 754-2008 Value Standard XML representation Value output to XML ratioStatusCode(s)
qNaN or sNaN "NaN" "0" "RatioUndefined"
+infinity "INF" "999999999999999967336168804116691273849533185806555472917961779471295845921727862608739868455469056.000000" (this value is the text representation of 1e99) "InfiniteRatio"
-infinity; "-INF" "999999999999999967336168804116691273849533185806555472917961779471295845921727862608739868455469056.000000" (this value is the text representation of 1e99) "InfiniteRatio" and "NegativeRatio"
Parameters
xmlFilenameThe path and filename of the file to save.
completeReportTrue if a complete report of all data is to be generated, or false to generate concise report data.
saveTimeAlignmentDatashould be set to true to save the data from the matrix_science::ms_ms1quant_time_align object. The data saved in the xml will be identical to that as saved by ms_ms1quant_time_align::saveXmlFile but within a <timeAlignment> element and using a "ta" namespace
Returns
True if the file was saved successfully.

◆ setAverageNumPeptides()

void setAverageNumPeptides ( unsigned int  num = 3)

Average protocol only: set the number of most intense peptide groups to use.

This method only works when quantitation method protocol is Average. If protocol is not Average, calling the method has no effect.

In the Average protocol, protein intensities are calculated as the sum of the "top \a num" peptide intensities assigned to the protein hit. num is conventionally 3.

Parameters
numThe number of most intense peptide intensities to use in calculating protein intensities in the Average protocol. If 0, the value is reset to 3.

◆ setAverageReferenceProtein()

void setAverageReferenceProtein ( const char *  accession,
int  dbIdx,
bool  isReferenceUserSelected 
)

Average protocol only: select a reference protein accession and database.

This method only works when quantitation method protocol is Average. If protocol is not Average, calling the method has no effect.

In the Average protocol, protein ratios are relative to a specified reference protein, identified by its accession and dbIdx The reference protein should be one that has peptide ratios (intensities) associated with it. If it does not, getProteinRatio() will simply return raw intensity values.

If the quantitation method doesn't specify an accession, then the calling software should find the first protein hit, pass the accession and dbIdx of that hit and pass isReferenceUserSelected as false.

Calling this method does not modify the current quantitation method.

Parameters
accessionAccession of the reference protein. If null or an empty string, the warning matrix_science::ms_errs::ERR_MSP_QUANT_EMPTY_REF_ACCESSION will be set, and the function does nothing.
dbIdxThe database the protein is from. Must be correct! If the search results don't contain a protein matching the passed accession and dbIdx, then the warning matrix_science::ms_errs::ERR_MSP_QUANT_ACCESSION_NOT_FOUND is set
isReferenceUserSelectedshould be set to true if the reference accession was specified in the method.

◆ setAverageSelection()

void setAverageSelection ( const char *  mode)

Average protocol only: set the method of grouping peptide ratios.

This method only works when quantitation method protocol is Average. If protocol is not Average, calling the method has no effect.

In the Average protocol, protein intensities are calculated as the sum of the "top" peptide intensities assigned to the protein hit. If peptides are _identical_ then they all included but only count as one peptide for the purpose of determining the average. The selection mode determines how the peptides are compared to see if they should be treated as identical or not.

Whether to require the peptides to be used to be unique sequences (unique_sequence), or to accept different modification states of same sequence (unique_mr), or even accept peptides with same sequence and modifications in different charge states (unique_mz).

Parameters
modeThe way in which peptides are matched when selecting peptide intensities for the protein.

◆ setMinNumPeptides()

void setMinNumPeptides ( int  value)
inherited

Set the minimum number of peptides needed for protein ratio calculation.

Changing the minimum number of peptides changes the current quantitation method. It does not alter the original quantitation method object.

Using the Average protocol in ms_customquantitation: The Average protocol has two settings for minimum number of peptides. This setting defines how many peptide intensities are needed for a protein before its ratio can be calculated. It is usually meaningless to choose a value other than 1. Use ms_customquantitation::setAverageNumPeptides() to define how many intensities should be used in protein ratio calculation.

Parameters
valueThe minimum number of peptide ratios (the sample size) a protein must have for protein ratio calculation purposes. Values less than 1 are interpreted as 1.

◆ setPeptideRatioExcluded()

void setPeptideRatioExcluded ( const ms_peptide_quant_key key,
const std::string &  ratioName 
)
virtualinherited

Globally exclude a particular peptide ratio from protein ratio calculation.

All peptide matches associated with a protein ratio are used in calculating that protein's ratio, assuming the peptide ratio passes outlier testing (if used). This may not be desirable in some cases; for example, visual inspection could indicate the peptide match is incorrect. You can use setPeptideRatioExcluded() and setPeptideRatioIncluded() to globally exclude or include individual peptide ratios.

Parameters
keyThe peptide quant key of the peptide ratio.
ratioNameThe name of the ratio.

Implements ms_quantitation.

◆ setPeptideRatioIncluded()

void setPeptideRatioIncluded ( const ms_peptide_quant_key key,
const std::string &  ratioName 
)
virtualinherited

Globally include a particular peptide ratio in protein ratio calculation.

All peptide matches associated with a protein ratio are used in calculating that protein's ratio, assuming the peptide ratio passes outlier testing (if used). This may not be desirable in some cases; for example, visual inspection could indicate the peptide match is incorrect. You can use setPeptideRatioExcluded() and setPeptideRatioIncluded() to globally exclude or include individual peptide ratios.

Parameters
keyThe peptide quant key of the peptide ratio.
ratioNameThe name of the ratio.

Implements ms_quantitation.

◆ setPeptideRatioNormalisationBase()

void setPeptideRatioNormalisationBase ( const std::string &  ratioName,
double  b 
)
inherited

Set the peptide ratio normalisation base of the given ratio name.

Setting peptide ratio normalisation to a particular value means all peptide ratios with ratioName will be divided by b before they are returned by getPeptideRatio(). That is, the underlying peptide ratios remain unaffected, which means this method will always return immediately without computing anything.

In ms_ms2quantitation, normalisation constants can most easily be calculated with ms_ms2quantitation::normalisePeptideRatios(), if normalisation is enabled and configured in the quantitation method. You are free to override this, but keeping track of who calculated which constant is up to you.

It is not a good idea to define both peptide ratio normalisation and component intensity normalisation at the same time. In fact, you can only configure one or the other using setQuantNormalisation(), and neither normalisePeptideRatios() nor normaliseIntensities() will step on each other's toes.

It is possible, but not recommended, to manually set normalisation bases for both peptide ratios and component intensities. The resulting peptide ratios are most likely meaningless.

In ms_customquantitation, you can use ms_customquantitation::getUnnormalisedAveragePeptideRatio() to calculate the mean or median of peptide ratios currently stored in the class, for normalisation purposes.

You can always set b to 1 to disable peptide ratio ratioName normalisation.

Using the Average protocol in ms_customquantitation: If quantitation protocol is Average, peptide ratio normalisation has no meaning. It is strongly recommended to not set normalisation constants.

Parameters
ratioNamePeptide ratio name to normalise.
bNew normalisation base. If it is zero, the old base will be kept. If this is the first time the base is set, a value of 0 means it is set to 1.0.

◆ setProteinRatioType()

void setProteinRatioType ( const char *  value)
virtualinherited

Set the protein ratio type.

Changing the protein ratio type changes the current quantitation method. It does not alter the original quantitation method object.

ms_ms2quantitation supports "median", "average" and "weighted", and ms_customquantitation supports "median" and "average. If the ratio type is not implemented, it is set to "median". <strong>Using the Average protocol in ms_customquantitation</strong>: If quantitation protocol is Average, the only supported protein ratio type is "average". Setting it to anything else will result in an error. You should inspect isValid() and use clearAllErrors() should you accidentally do so.

Parameters
valueProtein ratio type (e.g. median, average, weighted). Accepted values are defined in the quantitation XML schema.

Implements ms_quantitation.

◆ setQuantOutliers()

void setQuantOutliers ( const ms_quant_outliers qo)
virtualinherited

Set new peptide ratio outlier settings.

Peptide ratio outlier detection can be configured in several ways. Please consult the quantitation configuration help page for details.

Changing outlier settings changes the current quantitation method. It does not alter the original quantitation method object.

Using the Average protocol in ms_customquantitation: It is an error to define outlier removal if quantitation protocol is Average. You will need to inspect isValid() and clear the error with clearAllErrors() should you accidentally do so.

Parameters
qoAn outlier configuration object. If this is NULL, outlier detection will be disabled (equivalent to "none").

Implements ms_quantitation.

◆ setTimeAlignmentData()

void setTimeAlignmentData ( matrix_science::ms_ms1quant_time_align alignmentData)

Only available for label free quantitation using the Replicate protocol

Parameters
alignmentDatais the new time alignment data
