Abstract

Consider functional canonical correlation analysis (CCA) applied to disjoint sections of lengthy protein mass spectra for the purpose of finding long-distance correlation structure. The relations between the CCA weight functions, which are derived from the data, and spectral peaks, which can be traced to individual proteins, provide a basis for interpreting the structure. The data analyzed consist of repeated measurements of a human serum standard by surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization (SELDI) time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometry. There are 88 spectra obtained from 11 protein chips each with 8 spots. The data-analysis goal is insight into the sample preparation step in such spectrometry, a step that involves the protein chip. We see that variation in this step has an outsized effect on a few proteins. We obtain this insight through interpretation of the long-distance correlation structure and through comparison of spectral variation from chip to chip with variation from spot to spot on single chips.
