1. A method for analyzing signals from a plurality of cross reactive channels of a sensor of a system where the signals vary non-linearly with the quantities of stimulant that induce these signals, wherein the said method comprises:

  • obtaining signals from a plurality of channels from said sensor at a variety of known levels for each stimulant;

    producing a net normalized result from each signal from the known levels;

    creating a library of signatures that includes the net normalized result at each of the known levels of stimulant;

    obtaining one or more signals from a plurality of channels from said sensor at unknown levels of stimulant;

    producing a net normalized result from each signal from the unknown levels; and

    unmixing the net normalized result from the unknown levels by projecting the sensor response onto the library of known signatures, with the various levels of each stimulant being treated as independent stimulants.
