  • Techniques for exception-based validation of analytical information
    Patent number: 11774418
    Abstract: Techniques and apparatus for information assessment processes are described. In one embodiment, for example, a computer-implemented method for performing a review-by-exception process may include, via one or more processors of a computing device, accessing chromatography information generated via analyzing a sample using a mass spectrometry system, the chromatography information comprising at least one peak and at least one peak attribute for the at least one peak, determining posterior probability information for the chromatography information; generating an estimated peak model based on the posterior probability information, determining a confidence indicator for the estimated peak model, and generating an exception for the at least one peak responsive to the confidence indicator being outside of an exception threshold. Other embodiments are described.
