Software Dr DMASS which has been developed to effectively analyze mass spectral data using multivariate analysis
consist of three steps, (i) Peak Correction, (ii) Multivariate
Data Processing, and (iii) Multivariate Analysis. In Peak Correction process, we correct experimental m/z values
based on the relation between experimental and desired values in internal mass calibrants (IMCs). A multivariate
data is constructed by a data set of multiple samples. In Multivariate Data Preprocessing, we can assess
reproducibility of samples with iterative measurement, and select useful peaks for separating groups of samples
and so on. After preprocessing, we can visualize the multivariate data by using multivariate analysis method
such as principal component analysis (PCA) and Batch-learning self-organizing map (BL-SOM). This software and its instruction manual is
freely available at the present site. Java j2sdk-1.4.2. is required to be installed in the user's computer to use this software.
