A method of analyzing a dataset of spectra is provided in which each
spectrum has a count value for each of a number of parameter values
within a parameter range. The method is for identifying one or more
parameter values that exhibit a significant variation within the dataset.
A dataset of spectra is obtained and a statistical analysis is applied to
the count values for each of the parameter values. The result of the
analysis for each parameter value is a function of the variation in the
count values. A spectrum that is representative of at least part of the
dataset of spectra is then displayed together with the results of the
statistical analysis. A corresponding computer program and system for
performing the method are also disclosed.
