Claim:
1. A method for determining at least one of a presence and a concentration of an analyte in a tissue sample, the method comprising the steps of: (a) obtaining a feature energy change as a result of a collision between two co-dependent waveforms, one of the two co-dependent waveforms being based on a feature waveform corresponding to absorption of energy by the analyte when radiation is directed to the tissue sample; and (b) transforming, via a processor, the feature energy change to an analyte concentration, wherein the analyte is classified as one of a multi-compartment analyte excluding glucose, a red cell analyte, a plasma analyte, an intracellular analyte, a structural analyte, an exogenous analyte, and an antigen/antibody analyte.
