pattern analysis does not necessarily yield the best results, since our alignments are automatic. This yields mismatches (for example, in coda -u vs. coda -k in some varieties). We can avoid this by explicitly adjusting alignments, maybe by annotating "initial, medial, nucleus, code, tone" etc. (automatic functions basically available). this will enhance the analysis.
