Abstract
A spectroscopic identification method and system are provided that uses the primary or main spectroscopic features of a source, such as those as arising from chemical functional groups, to describe and distinguish the source. These primary spectroscopic features make up a portion (i.e., are a subset) of the entire spectroscopic data for a particular source but can nevertheless be used as the basis of separating spectra from multiple source. When analyzing spectroscopic data obtained from a sample for one or more sources, the analysis first focuses on the primary spectroscopic features for a source rather than the entire spectra for a source.
