description <jats:p> Ionic-liquid ion sources produce beams of charged particles through evaporation and acceleration of ions and charged droplets from the surface of an ionic liquid. The composition of the emitted beam can impact the performance of ion sources for various applications such as focused beams for microfabrication and space propulsion. Numerical inference is considered for quantification of the beam composition of an ionic-liquid ion source through determining the current fraction of different species along with providing uncertainty in inferred values. An analysis of previously presented data demonstrates the ability to quantify the presence of ion clusters, including the distinct presence of heavy ion clusters such as heptamers. Quantification of beam composition will be an important technique for quantitative comparison of different time-of-flight data. </jats:p>
