NAME

InSilicoSpectro::InSilico::ExpCalibrator - Calibrates a RetentionTimer predictor based on experimental data

SYNOPSIS

use InSilicoSpectro::InSilico::ExpCalibrator;

# creates a calibrator
my $ec = InSilicoSpectro::InSilico::ExpCalibrator->new(fitting=>'spline');

# trains it from experimental data
$ec->train( expdata=>[1310.00,1520.00],prdata=>[1314.05,1500.75], );

DESCRIPTION

Calibrates retention time predictors. Based on the comparison between predicted and experimental data and the chosen method of fitting. It performs also some preprocessing on the given data.

METHODS

my $ec=InSilicoSpectro::InSilico::ExpCalibrator->new($h)

$h contains a hash with parameters.

$ec->train($h)

Trains the calibrator

$fval=$ec->fit($val)

Fits the input value according to the calibrator and returns the adjusted value

$ec->preprocess($h)

Preprocess the experimental data and filters outliers

$ec->set($name, $val)

Set an instance parameter.

$ec->get($name)

Get an instance parameter.
