Convert numeric m/z vector into minimal peaklist
Description
Converts a simple numeric vector containing m/z values into a minimal UME peaklist. This is useful when users want to perform direct formula assignment on a single spectrum represented only by m/z values.
The generated peaklist contains:
-
mz(copied from input) -
i_magnitude(set to 1 for all peaks) -
file_id= 1L
A "col_history" attribute is added to track that the object was
constructed from a numeric vector.
Usage
.as_peaklist_from_numeric(x)
Arguments
x |
Numeric vector of m/z values. |
Value
A minimal peaklist as a data.table.

Internal helper: pretty label lookup
Description
Internal utility function to map a variable or column name to a more descriptive, human-readable label based on a lookup table.
The lookup table must contain two columns:
-
name_pattern– Regular expressions to match column names -
name_substitute– Human-readable label returned when pattern matches
The function returns the first matching substitute label.
If no pattern matches, the input colname is returned unchanged.
This function is not exported and is intended for use inside the ume
package (e.g., for automatic axis labeling in plotting functions).

Add Missing Isotope Columns to mfd
Description
This function ensures that missing isotope columns are added to the input data table (mfd), which is required for further data evaluation that considers isotope information. If any of the specified isotope columns are not already present in the data, they will be added with a default value of 0.
The function is typically used to standardize the dataset by ensuring that all expected isotopes (e.g., nitrogen-15, carbon-13) are represented, even if they are not initially present in the data. The function works by checking for the existence of each specified isotope column and adding the missing ones.

# Example using demo data and demo peak list:
assign_formulas(pl = peaklist_demo,
formula_library = ume::lib_demo,
pol = "neg",
ma_dev = 0.2,
verbose = FALSE)
# Example using a given mass and UME demo library:

Build Isotope Parent–Daughter Map from Molecular Formula Data
Description
Internal helper function that constructs an isotope substitution map
for elements present in a molecular formula data table (mfd).
The function identifies all isotope columns (e.g. "12C", "13C", "14N")
contained in mfd, determines which isotopes are actually present
(atom count > 0 in at least one formula), and then retrieves the two most
abundant stable isotopes per element from the global masses table.
For each detected element, the most abundant isotope is defined as the parent isotope, and the second most abundant isotope is defined as the daughter isotope. These pairs are later used to generate single isotope-substituted molecular formulas.
Usage
build_isotope_map(mfd)
Arguments
mfd |
A |
Details
Only elements that occur in mfd and are represented in masses$label
are considered. If no isotope columns are detected or none contain
non-zero counts, an empty data.table is returned.
The function assumes that a global object masses exists containing at
least the columns:
-
label– isotope label (e.g."12C") -
symbol– element symbol (e.g."C") -
mole_fraction– natural isotopic abundance
The resulting isotope map always contains at most two isotopes per element (parent and daughter), ranked by natural abundance.
Value
A data.table with one row per detected element and the columns:
- element
Element symbol.
- parent_label
Most abundant isotope label.
- parent_mass
Mass number of the parent isotope.
- parent_mf
Natural mole fraction of the parent isotope.
- daughter_label
Second most abundant isotope label.
- daughter_mass
Mass number of the daughter isotope.
- daughter_mf
Natural mole fraction of the daughter isotope.
If no eligible elements are found, an empty data.table with the same
column structure is returned.

using the provided peak list (mfd). Calculated values include weighted averages for elemental counts
(e.g., Carbon, Hydrogen), elemental ratios (e.g., O/C, H/C), and additional parameters such as the base peak intensity
and summed intensities. It also calculates the aromaticity index (wa(AI)) based on the elemental composition.

Calculate Double Bond Equivalent (DBE)
Description
Calculates the Double Bond Equivalent (DBE) for a given
neutral molecular formula.
DBE is a measure of unsaturation, representing the total number of rings
and pi bonds in a molecule.
The function uses the ume::masses data table to determine valence information
for each element in the input molecular formula.
#'
It can be calculated from the molecular formula using atomic valences:
\mathrm{DBE} = 1 + \frac{1}{2} \sum_i n_i (v_i - 2)
where:
-
n_i: number of atoms of elementi -
v_i: valence of elementi(e.g., C = 4, H = 1, N = 3, O = 2, S = 2/4/6 depending on bonding state)
This formula works for any set of elements as long as their valence
is known. Be aware that some elements can have more than one valence
at normal conditions (e.g. Sulfur can have valences of 2, 4 and 6).
The function uses the valence that is represented in ume:masses$valence.
For a reasonable neutral molecule DBE has an integer value >=0. A higher DBE indicates a more unsaturated structure; a lower DBE indicates a more saturated structure.
Usage
calc_dbe(mfd, masses = ume::masses, verbose = FALSE, ...)
Arguments
mfd |
data.table with molecular formula data as derived from
|
masses |
A data.table. Defaults to |
verbose |
logical; if |
... |
Additional arguments passed to methods. |
Details
This function computes DBE based on the molecular formula specified in mfd.
mfd can be a data.table or a character string or character vector of molecular formula strings.
For each isotope in the formula, DBE is calculated as the sum of (valence - 2) multiplied by the count of that isotope, divided by 2, and then adding 1. Elements with a valence of 2 are excluded from the DBE calculation.
The function stops with an informative error if valence information is missing
for any element or isotope present in mfd.
Value
A numeric vector of the same length as the number of rows in mfd,
where each entry represents the calculated DBE for the corresponding molecular formula.
The result vector is named 'dbe'.

Calculate Degradation Index (Ideg)
Description
This function calculates the degradation index ('Ideg') following Flerus et al. (2012). High Ideg values indicate 'older' marine DOM (i.e., a higher contribution of peaks that correlate negatively with delta14C), while low values indicate 'younger' DOM (i.e., a higher contribution of peaks that correlate positively with delta14C)./
Ideg is computed as the ratio of summed magnitudes for five negative (NEG) molecular formulas to the total summed magnitudes of five positive (POS) and five negative (NEG) molecular formulas:
Ideg = \frac{\sum{NEG}}{\sum{NEG} + \sum{POS}}
The index ranges from 0 to 1 and is valid only if all required formulas (n = 10) are present. Ideg depends strongly on the type of sample preparation, ionization method, and instrument settings, and should only be interpreted for relative changes within the same dataset.
Usage
calc_ideg(
mfd,
mf_col = "mf",
magnitude_col = "i_magnitude",
grp = "file_id",
...
)
Arguments

data.table with molecular formula data as derived from
|
mf_col |
Character. The name of the column containing molecular formulas. Default is "mf". |

Additional arguments passed to methods. |
Value
A data.table with columns:
-
grp: Grouping variable. -

absolute probability, relative abundance, elemental molecular formula (mf),
and isotope-specific molecular formula (mf_iso).
The isotope-specific molecular formula uses bracket notation, for example
[12C2][13C][1H6][16O].
Very small isotope peaks can be removed using threshold and
rel_threshold to keep the output compact.
Value
A data.table with one row per isotope peak and the following columns:
- mf
Elemental molecular formula.
- mf_iso
Isotope-specific molecular formula.
- mass
Exact mass of the isotope composition.
- nominal_mass
Nominal mass of the isotope composition.
- prob
Absolute probability of the isotope composition.
- relative_abundance
Relative abundance normalized to the most abundant isotope peak.
- isotope_peak
Peak number ordered by increasing mass.

Calculate terrestrial indeces Iterr and Iterr2 (after Medeiros et al. 2016)
Description
Calculate a degradation index 'Iterr' and modified index 'iterr2' after Medeiros et al. (2016). High Iterr values represent higher contribution of terrestrial material (i.e. higher contribution of peaks that correlate positively with delta13C) while low values represent less terrestrial material (i.e. higher contribution of peaks that correlate negatively with delta13C). Iterr / Iterr2 are calculated from a peak magnitude ratio of 50 or 5 POS and NEG formulas, respectively: sum(terr) / (sum(terr) + sum(marine)) Therefore Iterr / Iterr2 range between 1 and 0. It should be noted that absolute values strongly depend on factors such as type of solid phase extraction, ionization method, instrument settings etc. Therefore values can only be interpreted as relative changes. It should also be noted that for an appropriate evaluation ALL index formulas must be present.

Calculate Nominal Mass of a Molecule
Description
Computes the nominal mass (integer mass) for each molecular formula in the provided data.
This function uses isotope masses stored in the dataset ume::masses, based on values from NIST,
for accurate calculation of each element's nominal mass contribution.
Usage
calc_nm(mfd, ...)

... |
Additional arguments passed to methods. |
Details
The function calculates the nominal mass of each molecular formula by retrieving the relevant
integer mass values of isotopes from ume::masses. This information is processed to create a calculation
string which is then evaluated to obtain the nominal mass for each molecule.
The nominal mass is derived by summing the integer masses of each constituent element in the formula, where the integer mass for each element is multiplied by the number of atoms of that element in the molecule.
Note: This function depends on ume::get_isotope_info() for isotope data retrieval.
Value

Calculate Pielou's Evenness
Description
This function calculates Pielou's evenness index, a measure of the distribution of abundances across molecular formulas. Evenness ranges from 0 (one molecular formula dominates) to 1 (all formulas are equally abundant).
Evenness is derived using the Shannon index:
E = \frac{H}{\log(S)}
where:
-

Sis the number of unique molecular formulas.
If there is only one molecular formula, evenness is defined as 1.
Usage

Recalibrate mass spectra
Description
This function performs an automated mass recalibration for peak lists using predefined or user-specified calibrant lists.
Calibration can be based on existing calibrant tables included in ume::known_mf
(via the calibr_list argument) or on a user-provided set of molecular formulas
(custom_calibr_list).
The function assigns calibrant peaks to each spectrum and evaluates their mass accuracy. Three independent outlier tests are applied to the assigned calibrants, and only those that pass all tests are used to calculate the recalibration model.
Recalibration is performed using a linear model (m ~ m_cal), and spectra with
insufficient calibrant matches can be either excluded or corrected using
extrapolated calibration parameters.
Usage
calc_recalibrate_ms(
pl,
col_spectrum_id = "file_id",
calibr_list = c("cal_fa_neg", "cal_marine_dom_neg", "calibration", "marine_dom",
"cal_marine_dom_pos", "cal_marine_pw_neg", "cal_SRFA_neg", "cal_SRFA_OL_neg",

Calculate the Shannon Diversity Index
Description
The Shannon diversity index is calculated to quantify the diversity of molecular formulas based on their relative abundances. This index considers both the richness (number of unique formulas) and the evenness (distribution of abundances). Higher values indicate greater diversity.
The Shannon index is defined as:
H = -\sum (p_i \cdot \ln(p_i))
where:
-
p_iis the relative abundance of thei-th molecular formula.
Zero-abundance formulas are excluded from the calculation.
Usage
calc_shannon_index(mf, magnitude)
Arguments
mf |
Character vector. A list of unique molecular formulas. |
magnitude |
Numeric vector. A list of respective abundances (intensities) for each molecular formula.
Must be non-negative and have the same length as |
Value
A single numeric value representing the Shannon diversity index. Returns 0 if magnitude is all zeros.
Examples
calc_shannon_index(
mf = c("C10H20O5", "C12H18O3", "C18H30O6"),
magnitude = c(1982375, 2424, 312410)
)
Calculate the Simpson Diversity Index
Description
The Simpson diversity index is calculated to measure the probability that two randomly selected individuals (e.g., molecular formulas) belong to the same category. It quantifies the dominance or evenness within a dataset.
The Simpson index is defined as:
D = \sum (p_i^2)
where:
-
p_iis the relative abundance of thei-th molecular formula.
The index ranges between 0 and 1:
A value near 0 indicates high diversity (even distribution of abundances).
A value of 1 indicates no diversity (one molecular formula dominates).
Usage
calc_simpson_index(mf, magnitude)
Arguments
mf |
Character vector. A list of unique molecular formulas. |
magnitude |
Numeric vector. A list of respective abundances (intensities) for each molecular formula.

Check neutral molecular formulas
Description
Checks whether character strings are valid neutral molecular formulas that
can be parsed by convert_molecular_formula_to_data_table().
The function is intended as a lightweight pre-check before converting molecular formulas into element-count tables. It identifies common non-formula entries such as InChIKeys, charged formulas, empty values, unsupported isotope notation, and formulas containing unknown element or isotope labels.
Usage
check_neutral_mf(mf, masses = ume::masses)
Arguments
mf |
A character vector of molecular formulas. |
masses |
A |
Details
Check molecular formulas for neutral formula validity
This function validates syntax only. It does not check chemical plausibility, valence rules, isotope natural abundance, charge balance, or whether the molecular formula corresponds to a real compound.
The parser uses the valid element symbols and isotope labels provided in
masses. This avoids hard-coding element symbols and ensures that the
validation is consistent with convert_molecular_formula_to_data_table().
Supported isotope notation follows the convention used in ume, for example:
-
[13C]for one carbon-13 atom -
[13C2]for two carbon-13 atoms -
[18O2]for two oxygen-18 atoms
The alternative notation [13C]2 is currently classified as unsupported
because the isotope count is placed outside the brackets.
Charged formulas such as "C10H13N2+", "C11H18N2+2", or
"C18H35CaO2Zn+3" are classified as charged and therefore not neutral.
InChIKeys such as "IOVCWXUNBOPUCH-UHFFFAOYSA-M" are detected separately
and classified as non-formula identifiers.
Value
A data.table with one row per input entry and the following columns:
- mf
Original input string.
- is_empty
Logical;
TRUEif the input isNAor empty.- is_inchikey
Logical;
TRUEif the input resembles an InChIKey.- has_charge
Logical;
TRUEif the formula ends with charge notation such as+,-,+2,-3,2+, or3-.- is_parseable
Logical;
TRUEif the string can be fully tokenized using valid element and isotope labels frommasses.- is_neutral_mf
Logical;
TRUEif the input is non-empty, does not resemble an InChIKey, has no terminal charge notation, and can be fully parsed as a molecular formula.- issue
Character label describing the detected issue. Valid neutral formulas are labelled
"valid_neutral_mf".

Create a Custom Interpolated Color Palette
Description
Constructs a continuous color palette from a sequence of base colors. Intermediate colors are interpolated between each pair of adjacent colors, optionally using a custom number of interpolation steps.
Usage
color.palette(steps, n.steps.between = NULL, ...)
Arguments
steps |
A character vector of base colors (e.g., hex codes or color names). These colors define the breakpoints in the palette. |
n.steps.between |
An optional integer vector specifying how many interpolated colors should
be added between each pair of entries in |
... |
Additional arguments passed to methods. |
Details
This helper is primarily used for UME visualizations (e.g., color bars in density plots), but it can be used independently for any plotting task.
Value
A function of class "colorRampPalette" that generates interpolated color
vectors when called with a single integer argument n.
For example, pal <- color.palette(c("blue", "white", "red")); pal(100)
returns a vector of 100 smoothly interpolated colors.
Examples
# Generate a simple blue-white-red palette
pal <- color.palette(c("blue", "white", "red"))
pal(10)
# Add additional steps between colors
pal2 <- color.palette(c("blue", "white", "red"), n.steps.between = c(5, 10))

Additional arguments passed to |
Details
The function extracts element or isotope counts from a table with one column
per isotope or element. Valid isotope columns are detected using
get_isotope_info() and the reference table ume::masses.
The standard molecular formula mf is created by summing isotopes belonging
to the same element and arranging elements according to Hill order.
If isotope_formulas = TRUE, an additional mf_iso column is created that
keeps isotope-specific information, for example [12C5][13C][1H12][16O6].
The function preserves the original row order and keeps duplicate rows.
Value
The original table mfd as a data.table with additional columns:
- mf
Standardized molecular formula following Hill order.
- mf_iso
If
isotope_formulas = TRUE, isotope-specific molecular formula.- C_tot
If
keep_element_sums = TRUE, total count of all carbon isotopes. Equivalent*_totcolumns are created for other elements.
Notes
Isotopic columns such as
13Care formatted as[13C]inmf_iso.The output follows Hill order:
C,H, then all other elements alphabetically.Single-element counts, e.g.
C1H4, are formatted without explicit1.

Details
The function supports normal element notation such as C6H12O6 and bracketed
isotope notation such as [13C], [13C2], and [18O2].
Input formulas are parsed using the element symbols and isotope labels
provided in masses. This avoids hard-coded element lists and allows rare
elements to be parsed as long as they are present in masses.
By default, input formulas are checked with check_neutral_mf() before
parsing.
The standardized molecular formula mf is generated using dynamic Hill
ordering:
if carbon is present:
C, thenH, then all other elements alphabeticallyif carbon is absent: all elements alphabetically, including
H
Value
A data.table in wide or long format.

Extract molecular formula from InChI string
Description
Extracts the molecular formula from an InChI string by parsing the first layer of the InChI representation. The function performs a fast string-based extraction without requiring external cheminformatics libraries.
Usage

Details
Extract molecular formula from InChI
The function extracts the molecular formula from the first layer of the
InChI string (i.e., the part immediately following "InChI=1S/" or
"InChI=1/" and before the next / separator).
This approach is highly efficient because the molecular formula is explicitly encoded in the InChI and does not require interpretation of molecular structure, in contrast to SMILES-based approaches.
Leading and trailing whitespace is ignored. Non-character inputs result in an error.
Value
A character vector of molecular formulas in Hill notation, with the same
length and order as inchi. Invalid or missing inputs return NA_character_.

Details
The measured ^{13}\mathrm{C} signal provides an
intrinsic validation of molecular formula assignments.
For a molecule containing n carbon atoms with a natural abundance
of 1.07% for
^{13}\mathrm{C}, the theoretical relative intensity
of the isotope peak ^{13}\mathrm{C}_{1}^{12}\mathrm{C}_{n-1} is:
I_{theo} = n \times 0.0107
The measured intensity I_{meas} provides an independent estimate of
the number of carbon atoms:
n_{calc} = \frac{I_{meas}}{0.0107}
From this, the deviation in carbon number can be defined:
C_{dev} = n_{assigned} - n_{calc}
A value of C_{dev} = 0 indicates perfect agreement between the
formula assignment and the isotope-based estimate. Negative values indicate
that the measured isotope abundance is lower than expected.
Isotope precision is assessed by evaluating the distribution of
C_{dev} across peaks with sufficient signal quality.
C_{dev} becomes small and stable at higher signal-to-noise ratios
(S/N). Therefore, isotopic peak ratios for intense mass signals
provide an internal metric for validating molecular formula assignments.
The function visualizes the deviation between measured and
theoretical ^{13}\mathrm{C} isotope ratios.
Supports optional data reduction (binning) to enhance interactive
rendering speed in Plotly.
Value
A ggplot or plotly object.

Principal Component Analysis (PCA) Plotting
The PCA is performed on a wide matrix with one row per group defined by
grp and one column per molecular formula (mf). Intensities are aggregated
using the mean if multiple values occur for the same combination of grp
and mf.
Columns with zero variance are removed before PCA because they cannot be
scaled. The argument grp defines the observational unit for the PCA, for
example "file_id", "sample_id", or "ms_id".
Value
A list containing:
- pca
The PCA model object returned by
stats::prcomp().- t_score
A
data.tablewith PCA scores for each group.- fig_vk
A Van Krevelen plot colored by PC1 loadings.

Add vertical UME branding label to a ggplot (internal helper)
Description
Adds the vertical, italic UltraMassExplorer branding label to the right-hand side of a ggplot.
The label is positioned outside the plot panel using NPC coordinates (normalized parent coordinates) and is therefore independent of data scale. It does not affect axis limits.
Usage
uplots_add_ume_label(
p,
label = "UltraMassExplorer",
colour = "#00ACE9",
text_size = 8,
x_npc_label = 0.03,
y_npc_label = 0.05
)

colour |
Hex colour string for the label.
Default: UME brand colour |
text_size |
Numeric font size (in points). |
x_npc_label |
Horizontal offset outside the panel (NPC units).

Add the UME package logo to a ggplot
Description
Inserts the UME package logo (stored in inst/figures/ume_package_icon.png)
into a ggplot at the bottom-right inside the plotting panel.
The logo is drawn in absolute device units (mm) which guarantees:
consistent physical size across output devices,
correct (non-distorted) aspect ratio,
no expansion of axis limits, and
predictable placement within the plot.
The logo is added via a rasterGrob() positioned using panel-relative NPC
coordinates for reliable placement independent of data scale.
Usage
uplots_add_ume_logo(
p,
width_mm = 12,
x_npc_logo = 1.03,
y_npc_logo = 0.03,
...
)
Arguments
p |
A ggplot object to which the UME logo should be added. |
width_mm |
Numeric. Logo width in millimetres. The height is computed automatically using the PNG's native aspect ratio. |
x_npc_logo |
Numeric in |
y_npc_logo |
Numeric in |
Details
Unlike annotation_raster() or annotation_custom() with data units, this
implementation uses a custom rasterGrob() inside a viewport that specifies
the logo's size in mm, not in data space.
This ensures that:
the logo's aspect ratio is preserved,
the logo never distorts when resizing the plot window,
the logo stays correctly positioned relative to the plotting region, and
axis limits remain unchanged.
This approach is robust across PNG/PDF output, facets, different aspect ratios, and multi-panel arrangements.
Value
A modified ggplot object containing the UME logo as an annotation.

Usage
uplots_map_labels(
p,
x = NULL,
y = NULL,
colour = NULL,

Details
Validate Molecular Formulas by Presence of Isotope Daughter Signals
The function is designed to work on matched target-search results derived
from an isotope-expanded target table created with
create_isotope_expanded_table().
Validation is based on co-occurrence of parent and daughter isotope signals
within the same file_id.
For each combination of file_id and isotope_group_id, the function:
checks whether the parent formula was found,
determines which requested isotope systems are expected for that isotope group,
determines which of those expected isotope systems were found,
and assigns an isotope validation class.
The actual validation is performed within each file_id. However, the list
of expected isotope daughter signals can be derived from dt_expected, which
should ideally be the complete isotope-expanded target table. This prevents
missing daughter isotope signals from being incorrectly ignored when
validating a subset of files.
If elements = c("C", "N", "S") is requested, a formula is only required
to match those daughter isotope elements that are actually expected for its
isotope group. Thus, formulas lacking sulfur or nitrogen are not penalized
for missing S or N daughter signals.
Value
A data.table with one row per combination of file_id and
isotope_group_id, containing:
- file_id
File identifier.
- isotope_group_id
Identifier linking parent and daughter isotopologues.
- mf
Parent molecular formula.
- parent_found
Logical indicating whether the parent formula was found.
- n_elements_requested
Number of user-requested isotope elements.
- n_isotopes_expected
Number of requested isotope daughter systems that are actually expected for the isotope group.
- n_isotopes_found
Number of expected isotope daughter systems found.
- isotopes_expected
Comma-separated list of expected isotope daughter elements.
- isotopes_found
Comma-separated list of found isotope daughter elements.
- isotope_validation
Validation class based on isotope presence.
Isotope validation classes
-
validated_all– parent found and all expected daughter isotope systems found. -
validated_partial– parent found and at least one expected daughter isotope system found. -
parent_only– parent found, but none of the expected daughter isotope systems found. -
daughter_only– daughter isotope signal found without parent.

Validate UME peaklist structure
Description
Internal structural validator for UME peaklists. Ensures that a peaklist has the correct columns, types, and unique identifiers required for downstream processing such as formula assignment.
Unlike as_peaklist(), this function does not modify the input
except for returning it unchanged if validation succeeds.
Instead, it raises informative errors that indicate what
structural issue was found.
This validator is called automatically inside as_peaklist()
and should not be used directly by end-users.
Usage
validate_peaklist(x)
Arguments
x |
A |
Details
A valid UME peaklist must satisfy the following:
Required columns
The following columns must exist:
-
file_id(integer) -
file(character; optional for minimal peaklists) -
peak_id(integer) -
mz(numeric, >= 0) -
i_magnitude(numeric) -
s_n(numeric; optional) -
res(numeric; optional)
Missing optional columns are allowed if they are not explicitly required for downstream operations.
Type requirements
-
file_idandpeak_idmust be integer-like -
mz,i_magnitude,s_n,resmust be numeric
Uniqueness
The pair (file_id, peak_id) must be unique.
Value
The input data.table (invisibly) if validation passes.
