Statistics, Bionformatics, Machine Learning, Chemometrics, …, provide the tools to:
Do we always need statistics?
QCs should be representative of the chemical complexity of your samples
Things too look at
Always check your results on the raw data
We need an automatic method to look for peaks
Anal Chem 2006 1;78(3):779-87. doi: 10.1021/ac051437y

We have to merge the lists of chromatographic peaks into a consensus list of features peaks, which will be the columns of our data matrix
