Figure 5From: A new peak detection algorithm for MALDI mass spectrometry data based on a modified Asymmetric Pseudo-Voigt modelThe effect of threshold value on spectra smoothing. A raw spectrum (blue) with the corresponding smoothed spectra (red) obtained using (A) a smaller threshold value and (B) a larger threshold value are shown. When a smaller threshold value is used, peaks at higher masses appear to be under-smoothed whereas when a larger threshold value is used, peaks at lower masses appear to be over-smoothed.Back to article page
