DBnorm as an R package for the comparison and selection of appropriate statistical methods for batch effect correction in metabolomic studies

Abstract As a powerful phenotyping technology, metabolomics provides new opportunities in biomarker discovery through metabolome-wide association studies (MWAS) and the identification of metabolites having a regulatory effect in various biological processes. While mass spectrometry-based (MS) metabo...
