{ \sc Combine} is an add-on to { \sc SigSpec} and { \sc Cinderella}. A { \sc SigSpec} result file or a file generated by { \sc Cinderella} contains the significant sinusoidal signal components in a time series. In this file, { \sc Combine} checks one frequency after the other for being a linear combination of previously examined frequencies. If this attempt fails, the corresponding frequency is considered ``genuine''. Only genuine frequencies are used to form linear combinations subsequently. A purely heuristic model is employed to assign a reliability to each linear combination and to justify whether to consider a frequency genuine or a linear combination.
