Detection of Covered Substructures in Multidimensional Parameter Space
Abstract
Many algorithms concerning the separation or detection of components are based on two statistical methods: The Kernel Method (De Jager et al. 1986) or the Likelihood Statistic (Sutherland & Saunders 1992). All these standard methods have one or more restrictions (e.g. known number of groups or differentiability of the components). This paper presents a short introduction to a new algorithm, which works without any mathematical restriction concerning the dataset. An example with an artificial dataset has already been presented (Kienel & Kimeswenger 1995). In this paper we will present preliminary results worked out with colour-colour diagrams of IRAS sources.
