how many _relationship options in MSData? #191

Hi,

I am using the v14.0b1 to do MSData construction.

I'm wondering how to choose _relationship parameter? The default value is 'other', but you say it could be changed simply (such as ms_data.relationship='continuous'). Are there any other options besides 'other' and 'continuous' ?

I couldn't find detailed explaination about this in documentation of the functions. . Regards, Sophia

There are three relationships among multiple data. 'continuous' : the ones in ms_data are from successive slices of a tissue specimen. 'time_series' : the ones in ms_data are from different-period tissue specimens of a specific species. 'other' : other possible relationships. The first two are the most commonly used.
