A method and system are provided for generating test results for a sample using an adaptive Newswens filter. One method is to detect during the examination of a sample having values for at least one feature of events that is closer to at least one value of at least one parameter of the Newson filter than values for at least one feature of another part of events Lt; / RTI selected events. The method also includes the steps of obtaining an output of the output acquisition subsystem for a sample of events, classifying events in the sample based on the obtained output, and determining one or more parameters of the Newsween filter based on the results of the classification And determining if it should be corrected. The Newson's filter or the modified Newson's filter may then be applied to the results of the inspection of the specimen to produce the final inspection results of the specimen.
