Abstract
Systems and methods for assaying a test entity for a property, without measuring the property, are provided. Exemplary test entities include proteins, protein mixtures, and protein fragments. Measurements of first features in a respective subset of an N-dimensional space and of second features in a respective subset of an M-dimensional space, is obtained as training data for each reference in a plurality of reference entities. One or more of the second features is a metric for the target property. A subset of first features, or combinations thereof, is identified using feature selection. A model is trained on the subset of first features using the training data. Measurement values for the subset of first features for the test entity are applied to thereby obtaining a model value that is compared to model values obtained using measured values of the subset of first features from reference entities exhibiting the property.
