Eng. Softw. 42, No. 9, 649-659 (2011).} \itemab Summary: In practical applications, many suspicious samples may be some kind of mixture and consist of various chemical components that make a spectral analysis difficult. Various explosives and related compounds (ERC) in the mixture can be identified and the concentration of each component can be estimated based on the known spectral data of the pure explosive components. In this paper, terahertz spectroscopic uncertainty analysis using a micro-GA is proposed, in which the random assignment of alleles from parents to offspring is implied. An intelligent computation-based technical road-map is also provided for the analysis and optimisation of the terahertz spectroscopic combination analysis. A simulation with two given test cases for ERC is devised. The results of the simulation show that micro-GA and its derivatives have potential applications in the fields of security, medicine and food to fast identify mixtures. \itemrv{~} \itemcc{} \itemut{terahertz spectroscopy; mixture; components determination; uncertainty analysis; multi-objective; micro-genetic algorithm} \itemli{doi:10.1016/j.advengsoft.2011.04.011} \end
