NAME
libmsnumpress — Implementations of two compression schemes for numeric data from mass
spectrometers.
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the libmsnumpress software package.
The library provides implementations of 3 different algorithms, 1 designed to compress first order smooth
data like retention time or M/Z arrays, and 2 for compressing non smooth data with lower requirements on
precision like ion count arrays.
