Class AbundanceColumn

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    IMZTabColumn

    public class AbundanceColumn
    extends MZTabColumn
    If the data exporter wishes to report only final results for 'Summary' files (i.e. following averaging over replicates), then these MUST be reported as quantitative values in the columns associated with the study_variable[1-n] (e.g. abundance_study_variable[1]). mzTab allows the reporting of abundance, standard deviation, and standard error for any study_variable. The unit of values in the abundance column MUST be specified in the metadata section of the mzTab file. The reported values SHOULD represent the final result of the performed data analysis. The exact meaning of the values will thus depend on the used analysis pipeline and quantitation method and is not expected to be comparable across multiple mzTab files.
