  We address the researchers studying the magneto-transport properties of
unconventional systems such as bulk samples and new materials or those working
in the soft quantum limit. We have developed a procedure for the analysis of
experimental data, so as to increase the confidence level about the presence of
quantum hall effect in these data. It is shown that irrespective of
temperature, sample material and sign of the charge carriers, for both integer
and fractional QHE's, an universal direct proportionality exists in the
dimensionless variables B and R (defined in the text). This procedure does not
preassign, Landau level filling factor (f) but determines both f and carrier
density in a statistically significant manner. We also find a natural
definition of the soft limit regime. Results of the analyses of several sets of
literature and synthetic data are reported.
