“…Similarly, the issue of coelutions, although important for peak detection, was not considered herein, as neither the two-step nor watershed algorithm incorporates a solution for coelution. Other techniques have been developed for unmixing coeluted peaks, e.g., [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Step (2-Step) peak detection algorithms for peaks with parametric skew (s); first-column (x-dimension) peak-width standard deviation, σ x ; second-column (y-dimension) peak-width standard deviation, σ y ; and noise standard deviation, σ n .…”
