Description: The BEADS toolbox jointly addresses the problem of simulateous baseline correction and noise reduction, for positive and sparse signals arising in analytical chemistry (Raman, infrared, XRD, etc.), here applied to gas chromatography signals. The baseline is similar to slow-varying trends, intrumental drifts or background offset. The proposed baseline filtering algorithm is based on modeling the series of chromatogram peaks as mostly positive, sparse with sparse derivatives, and on modeling the baseline as a low-pass signal. A convex optimization problemis formulated so as to encapsulate these non-parametric models. To account for the positivity of chromatogram peaks, an asymmetric penalty function, similar to a regularized l1 norm is utilized. A robust, computationally efficient, iterative algorithm is developed that is guaranteed to converge to the unique optimal solution.
