Abstract
A data analysis method includes automatically generating a set of curve fits for a data set from a mass spectrometer. The set of curve fits includes a plurality of suggested curve fits, each associated with a curve fit equation type. For each suggested curve fit, a fit metric is generated that indicates how well the curve fit matches the data set. Thereafter, a user interface is displayed that includes a table of user selectable suggested curve fits for display. A default suggested curve fit having a highest fit metric is displayed. A user override selection may be received for displaying at least one of the suggested curve fits in the table. The set of suggested curve fits under consideration can be filtered to conform with user requirements.
Claims25
A computer-implemented method of processing data from a mass spectrometer system, the method comprising:
- (a) processing a response data set representing response and concentration data for a set of samples to produce a process result;
- (b) fitting the process result of step (a) to a set of established statistical parameters to produce a graphical result and parameters;
- (c) displaying the graphical result and parameters of step (b) for further flexible processing;
- and
- (d) allowing a user to select one or more of said parameters for further processing.
A mass spectroscopy system comprising:
- a mass spectrometer configured to generate a response data set representing response versus concentration for a sample;
- and
- a computer system configured to:
- (a) process the response data set to produce a process result;
- (b) fit the process result of (a) to a set of established statistical parameters to produce a graphical result and parameters;
- (c) display the graphical result and parameters of (b) for further flexible processing;
- and
- (d) allow a user to select one or more of said parameters for further processing.
A computer-readable medium including code for controlling a processor to process data from a mass spectrometer system, the code including instructions to:
- (a) process a response data set representing response and concentration data for a sample to produce a process result;
- (b) fit the process result of (a) to a set of established statistical parameters to produce a graphical result and parameters;
- (c) display the graphical result and parameters of (b) for further flexible processing;
- and
- (d) allow a user to select one or more of said parameters for further processing.
