no values returned

### Examples

    data(plasma30)
    data(plasma20)

    p30 <- metabData(plasma30, samples = "CHEAR")
    p20 <- metabData(plasma20, samples = "Red", rtmax = 17.25)
    p.comb <- metabCombiner(xdata = p30, ydata = p20, binGap = 0.0075)

    p.comb <- selectAnchors(p.comb, tolmz = 0.003, tolrtq = 0.3, windy = 0.02)
    p.comb <- fit_gam(p.comb, k = 20, iterFilter = 1)
    p.comb <- calcScores(p.comb, A = 90, B = 14, C = 0.5)
    p.comb <- labelRows(p.comb, maxRankX = 2, maxRankY = 2, remove = TRUE)

    ###using metabCombiner object as input
    write2file(p.comb, file = "plasma-combined.csv", sep = ",")

    ###using combinedTable report and feature data as input
    cTable <- combinedTable(p.comb)
    write2file(cTable, file = "plasma-combined.txt", sep = "\t")
