Table 3 An example for computing fitting confidence. A randomly chosen spectrum is used to demonstrate the computation of the fitting confidence in detail. In each of the N = 28 numerical rows, the first entry is the score, the second entry records the LDpdf and the third entry corresponds to the LMpdf. Using the LDpdf as the x-coordinate and the Mpdf as the y-coordinate, we perform least square linear regression and find: an intercept value a = -0.00421 and a slope b = 0.9992. Eq. (18) is then used to compute t1 (t1 = 0.0421) and the goodness number, 1 - A(t1|N -2), is found to be 0.96674 through (19). To test the strength of correlation between the second column and the third column, we use (20) to compute r and through (21) we find the t2 value to be 0.99567. Given r = 0.99567 and = 25, through (22) we find the P M value to be 2.58 × 10-27.
