1. A display method of displaying information relating to an analysis, of displaying information obtained from an analysis device for quantitatively analyzing a specific substance included in a sample, including:
displaying a set of substance groups and information associated with each substance group, wherein the associated information includes at least one name of a substance included in the substance group, at least one retention time of the substance group, a mass-to-charge ratio of target ions of the substance group, a mass-to-charge ratio of qualifier ions of the substance group, and a ratio between the detection intensity of the target ions and the qualifier ions;
receiving selection of at least one substance group of the set of substance groups, and at least one substance to be analyzed, wherein the specific substance is included in the at least one substance to be analyzed;
performing, for each selected substance group, mass separation on ions contained in the sample based on the mass-to-charge ratio of target ions of the substance group, the mass-to-charge ratio of qualifier ions of the substance group, and the ratio between the detection intensity of the target ions and the qualifier ions associated with the selected substance group;
acquiring analysis information including a plurality of information pieces of the specific substance using the analysis device based on results of the mass separation;
classifying the analysis information into pre-registered substance groups such that each pre-registered substance group includes a plurality of different substances, executing a statistical process of at least part of the first analysis information in regard to each pre-registered substance group, and creating second information in regard to each pre-registered substance group based on a result of the statistical process; and
a screen display step of displaying at least one information out of the analysis information and the second information on a screen, wherein
the screen display step includes
receiving a display pattern selected by a user from among a pattern in which the analysis information and the second information are displayed at a same time on the screen, a pattern in which only the analysis information is displayed on the screen and a pattern in which only the second information is displayed on the screen, and
changing a display pattern on the screen such that at least one information out of the analysis information and the second information is displayed in accordance with the received display pattern; and
wherein the entireties of the analysis information and the second information are displayed by a character string on the screen.
