摘要

The method involves measuring values of characteristics of reference samples and a subject sample. An assembly of measured characteristics is marked. The characteristics which are common to the subject sample and the reference samples are identified as a characteristics class. The characteristics specific to the reference samples are identified as another characteristics class. The characteristics specific to the subject sample are identified as a third characteristics class. An indication of the class assigned to the identified characteristics is associated to the measured values. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a computer program comprising a set of instructions to perform a method for analyzing a subject sample (2) a subject sample analyzing system comprising a computer program.
