Version 2.1 of the QC:MXP repeat-injection derived batch correction app is now available to download at qcmxp.org. I thought it would be fun to revisit an old data set from Craig Wheelock's lab - doi.org/10.1183/1399.... 16 batch, 880 subjects, 224 pooled QC injections, 100+ curated metabolites.

INTRODUCTION

Imagine an alternate universe in which people don’t have words for different forms of transportation—only the collective noun “vehicle.” They use that word to refer to cars, buses, bikes, spacecraft, and all other ways of getting from place A to place B. Conversations in this world are confusing. There are furious debates about whether or not vehicles are environmentally friendly, even though no one realizes that one side of the debate is talking about bikes and the other side is talking about trucks. There is a breakthrough in rocketry, but the media focuses on how vehicles have gotten faster—so people call their car dealer (oops, vehicle dealer) to ask when faster models will be available. Meanwhile, fraudsters have capitalized on the fact that consumers don’t know what to believe when it comes to vehicle technology, so scams are rampant in the vehicle sector.

Now replace the word “vehicle” with “artificial intelligence,” and we have a pretty good description of the
