There are three directories. Description these directories are provides in the files "Read Me 1" and "READ Me 2".
The first : "raw_data" contains the laser-induced spectroscopic data measured on the blood plasma samples of 46 healthy, 64 infected donors and 40 blinds donors provided in alphabetical order. The details on the way these spectroscopic data were obtained is described in the manuscript. The file "READ ME 1" describes the content of the directories and files.
The second "reductions_matrix" contains files describing the Z-score analysis for outlier removal, resulting in "cleaned" spectra for all patient samples including the mean spectra for every patient sample. The latter were compiled into a spreadsheet ("df_matrix__Covid-19-blood-plasma__mean_norm__noback__@zsc=1.0_all_2022-10-20__pos86.xlsx") and is provided in the "reductions_matrix" directory
The third: "ZSC=1.0" contains the files "figures", "identifications", and "reductions". The directory "figures" contains a comprehensive collection of figures that were created during the statistical outlier removal and spectral analysis for all patient samples. "identifications" contains information and results regarding elemental line identifications based on comparisons with NIST-ASD data. The file "READ ME 2" describes the content of the directories and files
