  • Patent number: 11486866
    Abstract: When chromatogram data for a target sample have been acquired, a peak position estimator determines an estimated result of the position of the starting and/or ending point of a peak as well as the confidence value representing the reliability of the estimation, using a trained model stored in the trained model storage section. Normally, a plurality of estimated results of the starting point and/or ending point of the peak are acquired for one peak. A peak information correction processor identifies a candidate having the highest confidence as a prime candidate, and superposes a plurality of candidates including the prime candidate, with their respective confidence values, on a displayed chromatogram. An operator referring to the confidence values selects a peak which needs close checking or correction, and corrects the starting point and/or ending point of the selected peak, for example, by selecting and indicating a candidate other than the prime candidate.
