Biodata toolbox

Database system coupled to chemometric algorithms that consequently stores spectra and related data

The Biodata toolbox is a comprehensive database system that stores measurement signals and related data, such as sample labels, signal collection date, etc. in a single structure. The framework contains several mechanisms to prevent data corruption, e.g. when a sample is removed from the dataset, all related sample labels are removed as well. The database system is implemented as a matlab class and several chemometric preprocessing algorithms are coupled to the framework.
The graphical addons GraphSel and GraphPlot enable the selection of subsets of the data and the generation of per sample label coloured plots.

Biodata utilises several toolboxes for chemometrical processing (Tomcat, Discrim, EMSC toolbox, ...), and comes bundled with the toolboxes GSTools and Showpeaks.
