Abstract

A device may receive information identifying results of a spectroscopic measurement performed on an unknown sample. The device may determine a decision boundary for a quantification model based on a configurable parameter, such that a first plurality of training set samples of the quantification model is within the decision boundary and a second plurality of training set samples of the quantification model is not within the decision boundary. The device may determine a distance metric for the spectroscopic measurement performed on the unknown sample relative to the decision boundary. The device may determine a plurality of distance metrics for the second plurality of training set samples of the quantification model relative to the decision boundary. The device may provide information indicating whether the spectroscopic measurement performed on the unknown sample corresponds to the quantification model.
