1. A method of performing mass spectral analysis involving at least one of the isotope satellites of at least one ion, comprising:
acquiring a measured mass spectral response including at least one isotope;
constructing a peak component matrix with mass spectral response functions;
performing a regression analysis between the acquired mass spectral response and the peak component matrix; and
reporting one of statistical measure and regression coefficients from the regression analysis for at least one of mass spectral peak purity assessment, ion charge determination, mass spectral deconvolution, and mass shift compensation.
