Abstract
For the analysis of infrared spectroscopic bands and complex patterns partial cross correlation functions of a sample spectrum with reference spectra are calculated. The chosen ranges of the spectra are based on empirical knowledge of infrared spectrum structure correlations. The normalised maxima of the partial cross correlation functions are interpreted as fuzzy truth values and are combined by fuzzy logical operators. By application of that procedure larger common substructures will be derived from the reference spectra than by a maximum common substructure search based on the complete spectra.
