Patent ID: 8725469

Claim:
A computerized method comprising: receiving, by a computing device, a data set representing a plurality of samples, the plurality of samples comprises a plurality of solid samples, a plurality of liquid samples, a plurality of gas samples, or any combination thereof; processing, by the computing device, the data set using a data processing algorithm that includes one or more processing stages, each stage using a first respective set of data processing parameters to generate processed data; generating for the data processing algorithm, by the computing device, a design of experiment model based on the processed data and a set of response values; and calculating for each stage of the data processing algorithm, by the computing device, a second respective set of data processing parameters based on at least the design of experiment model; calculating a reliability index for the second set of data processing parameters; and adjusting one or more of the data processing parameters in the first set of data processing parameters based on the respective reliability index associated with each of the data processing parameters to calculate the second set of data processing parameters.
