### PSALSA - BASELINE ESTIMATION FOR SPECTRAL DATA USING MATLAB ###

>>> OVERVIEW <<<

psalsa is an algorithm for baseline estimation in spectral data.
This set of files includes the implementation of the algorithm in MATLAB, along with a demo and test dataset

>>> INCLUDED FILES <<<

This set includes the following files:

- Readme.txt file -> a brief explanation of the package contents
- psalsa.m -> the MATLAB script function implementing the psalsa algorithm
- SynSpec.mat -> a synthetic MATLAB dataset for testing the psalsa script function
- psalsaDemo.m -> a MATLAB demo script, showing the usage of the psalsa.m script function

>>> USAGE <<<

To use the psalsa script function, the psalsaDemo script, and the SynSpec.mat MATLAB dataset, copy the files to a folder that is accessible to MATLAB.
Review the help of the psalsa function for detailed usage and syntax.
Review and run the psalsaDemo for a quick understanding of the performance of the psalsa script. 
For a detailed explanation refer to the references listed in the help of the psalsa script function.
