Minor curiosity: why are some scorings (e.g MoNA) not normalized? #24

When trying to reconstruct relative scores from the absolute values returned by MetFrag CL I noticed that some scorings (e.g. MoNA) are not normalized. I am just curious why this is.

Thanks,
Rick

Hi Emma,

Thanks for your explanation! This is quite interesting, I will need to have a better look at the MetFusion paper though. For now if I understand correctly what is desired here is to keep the original scaling in order to judge what is going on. I do wonder know though if it is 'fair' that >1 MetFusion scores should be able to influence the final score with a greater weight since they are not normalized? Perhaps it would make more sense to report the non-normalized scores but normalize them before calculating the total score?
