Linear normalizer

Description

Linear normalizer divides the height (or area) of each peak in the peak list by a normalization factor, determined according to the Normalization type parameter. Each column (raw data file) of the peak list is normalized separately. In other words, normalization factor is determined independently for each raw data file.

Method parameters

Suffix
This string is added to the end of the name of each processed peak list
Normalization type
Selection of the normalization factor
Peak measurement type
Selection of either peak height or peak area, which will be used to calculate the normalization factors
Remove original peak list
If selected, the original peak list is automatically removed

Normalization factors

Average intensity
Average height (or area) of all peaks in the column is calculated and used as the normalization factor
Average squared intensity
Same as Average intensity, but values are squared before calculating the average
Maximum peak intensity
Maximum height (or area) in the peak list column is used as the normalization factor
Total raw signal
Sum of the height (or area) of all peaks in the peak list column is used as the normalization factor
