1. A method of detecting an overall class label in an ovarian cancer patient, comprising:
(a) conducting mass spectrometry on a blood-based sample of the ovarian cancer patient and obtaining mass spectral data;
(b) obtaining integrated intensity values in the mass spectral data of a multitude of mass-spectral features,
(c) operating on the mass spectral data with a programmed computer implementing an ensemble of classifiers;
wherein in the operating step each classifier in the ensemble of classifiers compares the integrated intensity values with feature values of a reference set of class-labeled mass spectral data obtained from blood-based samples of sets of patient samples, each set having different clinical characteristics with a classification algorithm; wherein each classifier in the ensemble of classifiers detects a class label for the sample, and wherein each of the class labels is used to define an overall label classification.
