Candidate selection

For each target dataset, CINDERELLA scans all comparison datasets, searching for coincident signal components. A pair of signal components is considered coincident, if the frequencies match to an accuracy that may be specified by the user, who may also define what CINDERELLA shall do if a comparison dataset does not contain a match for a given target frequency.

If more than one coincident frequency associated to a given target frequency is found, CINDERELLA chooses the candidate with the lowest conditional or composed sig in order to obtain the most conservative solution.
