Experimental systems can often be measured by multiple means, and a method for the re-integration of these data is essential. This plugin offers a simple method to merge quantified data from different sources.
Select source data
and merging will be applied automatically. Entities are added from each dataset in turn providing they are not already present in the preceding datasets.
In this way you can combine multiple measures in order of confidence. Ranking is performed in order of connection, e.g. a data source on connector 1 will be
ranked above one on connector 2.
The resulting dataset may contain >1 entry/entity (e.g. two measurements for a given metabolite). You may wish to subsequently filter this, e.g. by getting a mean per-metabolite summary.
You will probably want to scale your source data by a similar metric (e.g. unit variance, TMSP) before merging or you may find data from different sources are weighted differently in subsequent analysis.
