Abstract
Techniques for determining a microbial classification based on a mass spectrum are disclosed. A mass spectrometer generates a mass spectrum for a biological sample. A binning function is applied to the mass spectrum to generate a binned mass spectrum. As an example, a binned mass spectrum is associated with a set of bins having mass errors of the same value. A classification algorithm is applied to the binned mass spectrum to determine a microbial classification.
