Confidence and Prediction Regions for Statistical Analysis of Volatile Organic Compounds in Human Breath Gas

摘要

The paper is a contribution to the MATLAB test system for statistical analysis of concentration measurements of volatile organic compounds in human breath gas for potential detection of primary lung cancer. Two confidence and two prediction regions are introduced for statistical characterization the concentration measurements of product ions in order to discriminate various groups of persons in interest for prospective better detection of primary lung cancer. Two MATLAB algorithms have been created for more adequate description of measurements and for evaluation of the appropriate confidence and prediction regions.
