This algorithm is used to align GCxGC-MS chromatograms according to the method of
Zushi et al., 2017. The algorithm
is programmed in Matlab, and it represents an adaptation of a previous method to multivariate detectors. For univariate detector data, please refer to the method of:
Gros et al., 2012. That you can obtain at: https://github.com/jsarey/GCxGC-alignment.
To learn how to use the program, see the
documentation for users.
