Alignment of LC-MS peak list for correction of retention time
Liquid chromatography - mass spec - mass spec
Denoise, peak picking, peak alignment, DB search
Retention time shift correction
- initial correspondence estimation
- correspondence map
- maximum likelihood estimation
- retentions time distortion function
- retention time correction
- corrected retention time
- multiple alignment of peak lists D peak lists, each peak is a triple of retention time, mass/charge ratio, intensity.
Compute distance between peaks in two peak lists. Similar to feature weighted distance.
Pairwise correspondence computed using Stable marriage algorithm.
Given correspondence, we can compute distance between peak list.
Merge two most similar peak list (using mean), repeat D-1 times to get a hierarchy.
- retention time distortion function estimation retention time space
Relation to FTIR analysis work
- peak picking for FTIR spectra
- stable matching for assignment
- extend pairwise to general
- form a filter with constraints
Questions
- why not use least square fit to find the distortion function
- why not use Gaussian distribution to model to fit retention time
- distribution and find a correction
