      mss_results,
      output_name = "volcano_plot.pdf",
      lfc_upper = 1,
      lfc_lower = -1,
      whatPvalue = "adj.pvalue",
      FDR = 0.05,
      PDF = TRUE,
      decimal_threshold = 16,
      verbose = TRUE
    )

## Arguments

mss_results | (data.frame or file) Selected MSstats results
output_name | (char) Name for the output file (don't forget the `.pdf` extension)
lfc_upper | (numeric) log2fc upper threshold (positive value)
lfc_lower | (numeric) log2fc lower threshold (negative value)
whatPvalue | (char) `pvalue` or `adj.pvalue` (default)
FDR | (numeric) False Discovery Rate threshold
PDF | (logical) Option to generate pdf format. Default: `T`
decimal_threshold | (numeric) Decimal threshold for the pvalue. Default: 16 (10^-16)
