mass-suite 1.1.2

A package for HRMS data analysis

mass-suite

This package is initiated from the University of Washington eScience capstone project.

Mass-suite: Comprehensive Mass Spectrometry(MS) data analysis tool

Mass-suite is a package used for general MS data process and advanced data analysis.

It provided a full capacity including data import, alignment, noise removal, visualization and fragment searching using online database.

The mass-suite package is also providing a data mining option for the feature clustering using dilution datasets, aiming at dilution prediction, source tracking and matrix effect assessment.

Featured modules

MS data import and alignment

Supported formats:

• .mzml

MS data will be imported and filtered to create a dataframe in readable format from the mzml file.

A random forest model is integrated in the function as optional assessing tool for peak quality assessment.

Data from different experiments will be aligned together according to user defined error range.

Supported export formats: .csv/.xlsx

There is also a script version of the functions that integrated the functions into a automated workflow, please see script/mss_processor.py

The automated workflow is excutable via command line:

python -m mss_processor.py

example:

Currently the script only support .csv export.

MS data analysis

Supported formats: formats supported by Pandas

This is a data analysis module using cluster algorithm to find grouping features, detecting noises and mining for dilution prediction/source tracking.

ms_cluster function will grouping the features into clusters using selected algorithm. Dimension reduction and cluster report are optional within the function settings.

Current clustering algorithms:

• DBSCAN
• OPTICS
• Non-parametric hypothesis test (please refer to trend_calc function)

example output:

cluster report output:

After clustering, modeling function is provided to predict the dilution rate from samples and catch the behavior of individual clusters

feature_model(d_transpose, cluster_algorithm=True, model_method='ensemble_bagging_svc', report=True)

User can define either to use all features for modeling or individual clusters for modeling

Currently supporting models: linear regression, random forest regression, ensemble bagging regression

Model assessment report is also optional upon function settings:

User can use the model and cluster information for new sample prediction:

Simple source identification tool is also incorporated in this module:

Please refer to function documentation for more details.

MS data visualization & interactive plots(extended work)

Example for TIC plot

Molecule identification using fragment information (extended work)

All the online searching is using MoNA MassBank database.
