Ionization Mode | Total | Monoisotopics | After Organic Solvent (OS) Exclusion | RSD | Evaluated in PCA | R2 | Q2 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
ESI+ | 1150 | 365 | 145 | 84 | 84 | 0.73 | 0.61 |
ESI- | 966 | 345 | 152 | 134 | 134 | 0.73 | 0.66 |
Marker View software provided a data matrix with the extracted peaks. This software allowed the application of different filter steps to finally detect the features responsible for the discrimination between the groups. R2 and Q2 parameters from the partial least squares-discriminant analysis were used to assess model quality. RSD: relative standard deviation; PCA: principal component analysis.
