Bands
14-23
A small dialog box will open prompting you to select all your lanes or one of
your lanes to model.
Fig. 14-14. Gauss-model Bands dialog box.
If you select One, type the number of the lane you want to model into the
field.
Click on OK to begin modeling. A status box will display the progress of the
modeling.
Reviewing the Results of Gaussian Modeling
Bands that have been Gauss-modeled will appear as normal bands in the
image. To view the results of Gaussian fitting, magnify a few bands in a
modeled lane using the Zoom Box tool, then select the Bands in Lane or Plot
Band command from the Band menu and click on the lane.
The Plot Band command will show you the Gaussian curve superimposed on
the profile of the individual band you clicked on. Bands in Lane will show
you the Gaussian profiles of all the bands in the lane, superimposed on their
intensity profiles (see Fig.14-13. for an example).
Band > Band Information will display information about the Gaussian peak
and trace quantity for modeled bands that you click on. You can compare the
Gaussian values to the values displayed for regular band detection.
These quantities can also be displayed in the Lane Report and All Lanes
Report under the Report menu (see Chapter 19.2).
Note: The quantities determined by Gaussian fitting cannot be used to in
conjunction with Quantity Standards (see section 15.3). However, you can
continue to use the original trace quantities in calculating Quantity
Standards after you have Gauss-modeled your bands.
