Abstract
A method that analyzes mass spectra using a digital computer is disclosed. The method includes entering into a digital computer a data set obtained from mass spectra from a plurality of samples. Each sample is, or is to be assigned to a class within a class set having two or more classes and each class is characterized by a different biological status. A classification model is then formed. The classification model discriminates between the classes in the class set.

35. A computer readable medium comprising:
-
a) code for entering data derived from mass spectra from a plurality of samples, wherein each sample is, or is to be assigned to a class within a class set of two or more classes, each class characterized by a different biological status, and wherein each mass spectrum comprises data representing signal strength as a function of time-of-flight, mass-to-charge ratio or a value derived from mass-to-charge ratio or time-of-flight; and
b) code for forming a classification model using a classification process, the classification process comprising a recursive partitioning process, wherein the classification model discriminates between the classes in the class set. - View Dependent Claims (36, 37, 38)
