Metabolomics data on spiked apples

Description

An data set of LC-MS features, obtained from twenty apples. The last ten apples are spiked with known compounds. This set provides a test case for biomarker selection methods: the task is to retrieve the true biomarker variables. The raw LC-MS data have been converted to CDF format and processed with XCMS to obtain the features.

Usage

data(spikedApples)

Format

The format is a list of four elements:

mz

the m/z values of the features (rounded)

rt

the retention times of the features

dataMatrix

the intensities of the features in the individual samples

biom

the indices of the "true" biomarkers
