    evaluating a fit of the first load data on the first segment and a fit of the second load data on the first segment;

    evaluating a fit of the first load data on the second segment and a fit of the second load data on the second segment;

    ranking the relative fits of the first load data and the second load data against the first segment on a first segment list;

    ranking the relative fits of the first load data and the second load data against the second segment on a second segment list;
