What is the unit of tr: retention time (only required for calibration)? #21

Hi,

I would like to know the unit used for the retention time for prediction?

Without calibration there is essentially no unit. The retention times for training are divided by the maximum observed retention time and multiplied by a factor of 10.

With calibration the predicted retention time should take the same units as the peptides used for calibration.

For more details see: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.28.013003v2
