pIMZ is a framework for Imaging Mass Spectrometry (IMS) data analysis. The python implementation is available from github.com/mjoppich/pIMZ. For installation follow the instructions given here.
pIMZ focuses on a differential setting, where masses, specific to certain areas are first determined, and then serve as input for a cell-type detection framework and/or a differential expression setting.
pIMZ's documentation is available here: .
The easiest way to install most Python packages is via pip
.
If not already done, you must first install the following dependencies manually. This is because at the time of writing this document, dabest requires pandas~=0.25
, which is incompatible with probably the rest of the world nowadays. So first dabest is installed, then numpy and pandas are upgraded again ::
sudo pip3 install dabest
sudo pip3 install numpy pandas --upgrade
Only then we should install pIMZ
:
sudo pip3 install pIMZ
pIMZ
is now ready to go!

All available classes and their functions are explained in the modules/API documentation.
