This function calculates the ion sums and resulting counting statistics error from multiple raw ion counts. It can be applied to data from both LANS_summary and LANS_maps loading but can be slow if LANS_maps is combined from many analyses. Careful about its error propagation, it assumes it is calculating sums of ions and uses the ion counts themselves for error calculation. This is not suitable for calculating other types of sums where other types of error propagation may be more appropriate.

calculate_sums(data, ..., name_fun = default_name, quiet = FALSE)

## Arguments

data a data frame with raw ion counts retrieved from load_LANS_summary the ion sums to calculate, each entry is for one sum of as many ions as desired, e.g. c(13C, 12C), c(15N12C, 14C12C), ... the naming function, receives ... from the top level, default concatenates column names with '+' whether the function should output information messages or be quiet (default is to output)

## Value

the original data frame with the sums information appended (data_type == "ion_sum")

Other calculations: calculate_abundances(), calculate_ratios(), calculate()
