A method of improving the fidelity of m/z dependent and/or intensity measurements for a species of interest in an analyte to correct for hardware limitations within a mass spectrometer, which method comprises the steps of acquiring raw data produced by a mass spectrometer, identifying a region within the raw data that relates to the species of interest, forming a mathematical model to calculate the joint probability distribution of the parameters effecting the m/z dependent and/or intensity measurements, analytically obtaining samples from the joint probability distribution to produce corrected or refined m/z dependent and/or intensity measurements with associated uncertainties. |
