Correlation of target images and target mass spectra with their matching component images and component spectra from multivariate and agreement analysis.

For each target image (and associated mass spectrum) the Pearson correlation between the matching component images and mass spectra (loading plots) is provided. The latter two columns detail the mean correlation coefficient for each data analysis method.Note: the limited dynamic range of an agreement plot based on threshold images and the wider dynamic range of the target image (discrete vs. continuous values) is not suited to a Pearson correlation calculation. Accordingly, the correlations have been calculated using an agreement plot based on non-thresholded data.
