BAYESIAN DECREMENTAL SCHEME FOR CHARGE STATE DECONVOLUTION

Disclosed herein are charge state deconvolution systems, as well as related methods, computing devices, and computer-readable media. For example, in some embodiments, a charge state deconvolution apparatus includes first logic to identify peaks in a mass spectrum; second logic to deconvolve the masses of the identified peaks and identify clusters of deconvolved mases that have contiguous charge states; and third logic to calculate a Bayesian fitness measure and perform an iterative decremental procedure to perform charge state deconvolution.
