Mass Spectrometry (MS) is emerging as a breakthrough mass-throughput technology believed to have powerful potential for producing clinical diagnostic and prognostic models and for identifying relevant disease biomarkers. A major barrier to making mass spectrometry clinically useful and to exploring its potential in an efficient and reliable manner is the challenge posed by data analysis of proteomic spectra in order to produce reliable predictor models of disease and clinical outcomes.
This thesis describes the development and evaluation of a fully-automated software system (FAST-AIMS), capable of analyzing mass spectra to produce high-quality diagnostic and outcome prediction models.
