Peak count filter - GC-MS project

Hello everyone,

I am working on GC-TOFMS data with different sample groups and I am trying to understand, what the peak count filter means. According to the tutorial, it should remove peaks that are not fully detected in the alignment. But I don’t really understand, how this parameter deals with different sample groups – does it work group-wise or does it take simply all samples (regardless of the group they belong to) into account?
For LC data, there is the additional option N% detected in at least one group but this is not available in a GC project.
I hope you can help me.

Best regards
Bernadette

I have not implement the N% function for GCMS project yet, but will try to implement this by the next update.
Thanks,

Thank you Hiroshi!

I have metabolites that are only present in some sample classes and it would be necessary to set a filter for this.  The peak count filter is not so helpful, as it deals simply with all samples and it does not take the different groups/classes into account.

Best,
Bernadette

Sorry for the late action. Just for my reminder, I've done the functional update for this topic. Thanks! (I will update new version within this week)
