Correlation of data sets, chemical composition
I have roughly 80 test results from different samples, each result set is a list of concentrations of various chemical compounds and proteins obtained through gcms (gas chromatography mass spec)
There are over 50 of these compound concentrations for each of these data sets.
Of these test results, 5 are from samples that are known to originate from the same source.
From what I can see by looking at the variance between these samples is that some of the compounds show similar test concentration and others do not, likely because of degradation due to exposure to different conditions.
I am trying to determine which of the other 75 samples (not in the 5 known same-source set) most closely resembles the 5.
Can someone recommend a method to correlate or determine which has the best match?
Thanks
