MBS™ Overview

Multivariate statistics of MALDI MS data

Medicwave Bioinformatics Suite™ (MBS™) combines a large set of data processing, data exploration and data mining techniques with a rich set of statistical evaluation methods and a comprehensive amount of features for statistical presentation and visualization of results, all within an easy-to-use software product.

MBS™ can perform all stages of processing required for analyzing large sets of MALDI MS data. For pre-processing MBS™ is able to perform normalization, baseline subtraction, Savitzky-Golay filtering, peak detection, peak merging and binning. Thereafter, MBS™ is able to perform different data mining analyses, e.g. build diagnostic models and detect features which best discriminate between two different groups of samples (control samples and disease samples).


MBS™ features

  • The software is easy to learn and use.
  • Can import many different data formats.
  • Contains a wide range of algorithms for data reduction, data mining and building predictive models from protein profiling data.
  • Can generate and validate a wide set of pattern recognition models for classification and prediction of e.g. disease from mass spectrometry based profiling data using sophisticated mathematical and bioinformatics-related algorithms.
  • Has a wide selection of visualization methods for presenting results, both within the software and for producing reports.
