MDDNMR: processing of Non-Uniformly Sampled Spectra

MddNMR is an implementation of Multi-Dimensional Decomposition (MDD) for processing of non-uniformly sampled (NUS) multidimensional NMR spectra. The package includes also a routine to produce optimized NUS schedule that can be used to setup N-dimensional NUS NMR experiments. In the NUS acquisition, only a fraction of full (conventional) data set is recorded. MddNMR works by replenishing missing data points in the full matrix followed by regular FT processing of the complete data.

Role of Multi-Dimensional Decomposition (MDD) in the processing: the software replenishes data points in the indirect dimensions that are missing in the NUS set and produces the full data set amenable for regular Fourier transform
