Abstract: | A spectral similarity measure was developed that can differentiate subtle differences between two spectra. The spectra are digitalized into a vector. The difference between the two spectra is defined by a difference vector, which is one spectrum minus the other. The spectral similarity measure is transformed into a hypothesis test of the similarities and differences between the two spectra. The scalar mean of the difference vector is used as the statistical variable for the hypothesis test. A threshold for the hypothesis that the spectra are different was proposed. The Bayesian prior odds ratio was estimated from multiple spectra of the same sample. The posterior odds ratio was used to quantity the spectral similarity measure of the two spectra. Diffuse reflectance near-infrared spectra of tobacco samples of two formulations were used to demonstrate this method. The results show that this new method can detect subtle differences between the spectra. |
