Abstract

For the problem of aligning two-dimensional NMR spectra of biological samples to determine if metabolite standards in a database can be excluded as possible constituents, we develop heuristic search algorithms that offer tremendous time savings when compared to manual methods. Xi et al [15] consider this problem and use statistical methods to reduce the search space and enumerate it. In this paper we consider the case when the statistical model is not available due to lack of data. We describe a simulated annealing algorithm and an algorithm that hybridizes simulated annealing with a shift neighborhood and a variant of reactive tabu search with a large neighborhood. Computational experiments based on data from physical experiments demonstrates that the hybrid is more effective than its constituents for runs with limited CPU time but that simulated annealing and the hybrid are roughly equal for longer runs.
