摘要:
A method for analyzing data from an unknown substance, whereby target data representative of an unknown substance is received and compared to reference data associated with one or more known substances. Such comparison determines one or more candidate substances. After determining candidate substances, it is determined if the target data is unique to a candidate substance. If the target data is unique to one of the candidate substances, then this determination is confirmed with fusion. If the target data is not unique, then the target data may be subjected to fusion and unmixing with fusion. If analysis of the target data determines that an outlier is present, then this target data is added to a pool of unassigned data. The addition of this new data to the pool of unassigned data may result in clustering of enough of the previously unassigned data to form a new candidate class. If analysis of the target data does not detect an outlier, but cannot be matched to an existing candidate class, the target data in this case can also be added to the pool of unassigned data. If no outlier is detected, and the Matching Existing Class step is successful, then the target data is added to the matched class. If this candidate class is confirmed, then it can be added to the list of existing classes.
