Background
In spectral analysis techniques such as XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy), FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), and NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance), analytical results are heavily influenced by how overlapping peaks are separated and how the number of peaks, the parameters for each peak, and the peak function types are defined.
However, with conventional curve-fitting software, these settings often depend on the analyst's experience and trial and error, creating challenges in objectivity and reproducibility.
AutoStatSpectra uses Bayesian inference to automatically estimate the number of peaks, peak parameters, and peak function types, while also quantifying uncertainty in the estimates. It delivers statistically grounded spectral analysis that does not rely on the analyst's subjective judgment.
Key Features of AutoStatSpectra
1. Automatic estimation of peak count, peak parameters, and peak function types
AutoStatSpectra compares candidate models within a user-specified range and automatically selects the optimal number of peaks based on posterior probability. In addition to estimating parameters such as the height, center position, and full width at half maximum (FWHM) of each peak, it also automatically determines the most suitable peak function type for the data, including Gaussian, Lorentzian, and pseudo-Voigt functions. Because uncertainty in each estimate can also be evaluated quantitatively, the software enables highly reproducible peak fitting with less reliance on analyst experience and trial and error.
2. Flexible background correction
In addition to constant and linear background models, AutoStatSpectra supports multiple background-correction methods, including the Shirley method for XPS. Users can flexibly choose preprocessing methods according to different measurement techniques.
3. Batch analysis of multiple files (multi-file workspace)
Multiple spectral datasets can be grouped into a single workspace and processed in batch under common analysis conditions. This supports efficient analysis of large volumes of data, such as condition screening and time-series comparisons.
4. Automatic generation of analysis reports
Analysis results can be automatically output as reports in PDF and Word formats. Comprehensive reports that include fitting plots, model comparison tables, parameter lists, and posterior distribution plots significantly shorten the workflow from analysis to reporting. Data export to CSV and Excel is also supported.
5. Support for diverse data formats
AutoStatSpectra supports a wide range of data formats, including CSV, Excel, VAMAS, and SOF-H.
