COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD OF ANALYSING DATA FROM MEASURED VALUES OF CHARACTERISTICS OF OBJECTS IN SAMPLES

摘要

The invention relates to a computer implemented method of analysing data comprising measured values of characteristics of objects in samples, the data comprising —a first set of data (Xireference) with measured values of characteristics of objects in reference samples; —a test set of data (Xitest) with measured values of the characteristics of objects in a test sample; characterised by the method comprising; —fitting a control model to the first set of data to determine control loadings (Pcontrol) each representing an independent correlation between characteristics; —projecting the first set of data (Xireference) onto the control loadings (Pcontrol) for determining a first set control scores (Tcontrol,ireference) and determining one or more confidence intervals for the first set of control scores (Tcontrol,ireference); —projecting the test data onto the control loadings (Pcontrol) for determining test control scores; —determining if the test control scores are within one or more the confidence intervals.
