findIsotopesWithValidation {CAMERA} | R Documentation

## Deconvolute/Annotate LC/ESI-MS data

### Description

Annotate validated isotope clusters for a xsAnnotate object. Returns a xsAnnotate object with annotated isotopes. Validation of isotope clusters is based on statistics of the KEGG database implemented in S4 class object `compoundQuantiles`.

### Usage

      findIsotopesWithValidation(object, maxcharge=3, ppm=5, mzabs=0.01, intval=c("maxo","into","intb"), validateIsotopePatterns = TRUE, database="kegg")

### Arguments

`object` | the `xsAnnotate` object
`maxcharge` | max. number of the isotope charge
`ppm` | ppm error for the search
`mzabs` | allowed variance for the search
`intval` | choose intensity values for C12/C13 check. Allowed values are into, maxo, intb
`validateIsotopePatterns` | logical, if TRUE putative isotope clusters are validated based on KEGG database statistics.
`database` | the database which is the basis for isotope cluster validation. One of `compoundLibraries()`.

### Details

Isotope peaks are annotated for a xsAnnotate object according to given rules (maxcharge, maxiso). The algorithm benefits from a earlier grouping of the data, with groupFWHM. Generates a list of all possible isotopes, which is stored in object@isotopes. Those isotope information will be used in the groupCorr funtion. The ratios between isotope peaks are checked against the mass–specific $99%$ confidence interval based on statistics of the KEGG database.
