Methods and systems for compound feature creation, processing, and identification in conjunction with a data analysis and feature recognition system wherein hit weights are summed

A system for compound feature determination, comprising:

• a computer having a processor and a memory, the memory having a database of known features associated with the compound feature;
• the memory further containing stored programming instructions operable by the processor to:
• analyze a data element within a data set stored in the memory to determine the presence of a plurality of known features from the database of known features to produce a plurality of known feature results;
• compare the plurality of known feature results via a Boolean logical operation;
• and
• determine whether the compound feature is present as a function of the Boolean logical operation wherein the stored programming instructions further enable the processor to apply a plurality of hit weight values to the plurality of known feature results, each one of the plurality of hit weight values being assigned to a corresponding one of the plurality of known features wherein the compound feature is determined to be present if the sum of the hit weights is equal to or greater than a user-defined threshold for the Boolean operation.
