*All regulated by Code names used here are not available names. They will be available when the paper describing them is published.

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:
PProbability of an unknown specimen being Ch.torridae
b1,b2,...bnCoefficients
x1,x2,...xn
cConstant
