Optinalysis: A New Method of Data Analysis and Comparison

The key concepts in symmetry detection and similarity, identity measures are automorphism and isomorphism respectively. Therefore, methods for symmetry detection and similarity, identity measures should be functionally bijective, inverse, and invariance under a set of mathematical operations. Nevertheless, few or no existing method is functional for these properties. In this paper, a new methodological paradigm, called optinalysis, is presented for symmetry detections, similarity, and identity measures between isoreflective or autoreflective pair of mathematical structures. The paradigm of optinalysis is the re-mapping of isoreflective or autoreflective pairs with an optical scale. Optinalysis is characterized as invariant under a set of transformations and its isoreflective polymorphism behaves on polynomial and non-polynomial models.
