Calibrates intensities of a MassSpectrum object.
This function calibrates (normalize) intensities of
MassSpectrum objects.

A number of different calibration methods are provided:
"TIC":The TIC (Total Ion Current) of a
MassSpectrum object is set to one. If range is
given the TIC is only calculated for the intensities in the
specified mass range.
"PQN":The PQN (Probabilistic Quotient
Normalization) is described in Dieterle et al 2006.
calibrateIntensity uses the following algorithm:
Calibrate all spectra using the "TIC" calibration.
Calculate a median reference spectrum.
Calculate the quotients of all intensities of the spectra with those of the reference spectrum.
Calculate the median of these quotients for each spectrum.
Divide all intensities of each spectrum by its median of quotients.
"median":The median of intensities of a
MassSpectrum object is set to one.
Returns a modified MassSpectrum object with calibrated
intensities.
