To classify an unknown specimen input raw measurements and, scale coefficients (if measurements are in different scale)
and press the button "Classify Specimen" below

You can paste measurements from any spreadsheet application into the textbox below. Data must be arranged in a single row.



Calculations involve the following formula:
CV = b1*x1 + b2*x2 + ... + bn*xn + c
b1,b2,...bnCoefficients for CV1-CVn
x1,x2,...xn
cConstant
