This is demonstrated for spectral data matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry MALDI-TOF data. Two SB schemes for removing the baseline drift are presented iterative and direct. Following an explanation of the origin of the MALDI-TOF baseline drift that sheds light on the inherent difficulty of its removal by chemical means SB baseline drift removal is illustrated for both proteomics and genomics MALDI-TOF data sets. SB is an elegant signal processing method to obtain a numerically straightforward baseline shift removal method as it includes a free parameter Ơ x that can be optimized for different baseline drift removal applications. Therefore research that determines putative biomarkers from the spectral data might benefit from a sensitivity analysis to the underlying spectral measurement that is made possible by varying the SB free parameter. This can be manually tuned for constant Ơ or tuned with evolutionary computation for Ơ x . Copyright 2006 Hindawi Publishing Corporation. All rights reserved. 1. INTRODUCTION Each measurement analysis tool for determining the presence and concentration of biomolecules has its particular signal processing challenge. Consider some of these challenges for two of the most powerful tools microarray analysis and spectral analysis. For example the proximity of dots in a microarray can
