Automated Assignment of Charge States from Resolved Isotopic Peaks
Implementation of methods from:
Senko, M.W., Beu, S.C., and McLafferty, F.W. (1995)
"Automated Assignment of Charge States from Resolved Isotopic Peaks for Multiply Charged Ions"
J. Am. Soc. Mass Spectrom., 6, 52-56
This module provides three complementary algorithms for charge state determination:
1. Patterson Function - Best for low charge states (z < 5) with high S/N
2. Fourier Transform - Best for high charge states (z > 5) with low resolving power
3. Combination Method - Multiplies Patterson × Fourier (recommended for all cases)
The methods achieved >95% accuracy in the original paper and work even when
isotope clusters overlap.
