# Introduction

This document describes how the Biocrates MxP500-based targeted metabolomics
data from the CHRIS study [@pattaro_cooperative_2015]
[@verri_hernandes_age_2022] can be loaded and analyzed in R.

CHRIS participants.

As we can see from the values above they are in **natural scale** - so, for data
analysis it might be better to transform them using `log2` or `log10` (which
will also ensure the data to be more Gaussian distributed). See also
[@verri_hernandes_age_2022] for more information on data distribution and
quality.

At last we also evaluate the distribution of the coefficients of variation for
all analytes in the data set.
