Statistical heterospectroscopy (SHY) is a new statistical paradigm for the coanalysis of multispectroscopic data sets acquired on multiple samples. This method operates through the analysis of the intrinsic covariance between signal intensities in the same and related molecules measured by different techniques across cohorts of samples. The potential of SHY is illustrated using both 600-MHz H-1 NMR and UPLC-TOFMS data obtained from control rat urine samples (n = 54) and from a corresponding hydrazine-treated group (n = 58). We show that direct cross-correlation of spectral parameters, viz. chemical shifts from NMR and m/z data from MS, is readily achievable for a variety of metabolites, which leads to improved efficiency of molecular biomarker identification. In addition to structure, higher level biological information can be obtained on metabolic pathway activity and connectivities by examination of different levels of the NMR to MS correlation and anticorrelation matrixes. The SHY approach is of general applicability to complex mixture analysis, if two or more independent spectroscopic data sets are available for any sample cohort. Biological applications of SHY as demonstrated here show promise as a new systems biology tool for biomarker recovery.
