In spin-glasses (SG), the relaxation time $\tau$ ($= 1/2{\pi}f$) vs. $T_f$data at the peak position $T_f$ in the temperature variation of the ac magneticsusceptibilities at different frequencies f is often fit to the Vogel-FulcherLaw (VFL): $\tau=\tau_0\exp[E_a/k_b(T_f-T_0)]$ and to the Power Law (PL): $\tau= \tau_0^*[(T_f-T_{SG}/T_{SG}]^{-z\nu}$. Both these laws have three fittingparameters each, leaving a degree of uncertainty since the magnitudes of theevaluated parameters $\tau_0$, $E_a/k_B$, $\tau_{0^*}$ and $z\nu$ dependstrongly on the choice of $T_0$ and $T_{SG}$. Here we report an optimizedprocedure for the analysis of $\tau$ vs. $T_f$ data on several SG systems forwhich we could extract such data from published sources. In this optimizedmethod, the data of $\tau$ vs. $T_f$ are fit by varying $T_0$ in the linearplots of $\ln \tau$ vs $1/ (T_f - T_0)$ for the VFL and by varying $T_{SG}$ inthe linear plot of $\ln \tau$ vs. $\ln (T_f - T_{SG})/ T_{SG}$ for the PL tilloptimum fits are obtained. The analysis of the associated magnitudes of$\tau_0$, $E_a/k_B$, $\tau_{0^*}$ and $z\nu$ for these optimum values of $T_0$and $T_{SG}$ shows that magnitudes of $\tau_{0^*}$, $\tau_0$ and $z\nu$ fail toprovide a clear distinction between canonical and cluster SG. However, newresults emerge showing $E_a/(k_BT_0) < 1$ in canonical SG whereas $E_a/(k_BT_0)>1$ for cluster SG systems and the optimized $T_0 <$ optimized $T_{SG}$ in allcases. Although some interpretation of these new results is presented, a morerigorous theoretical justification of the boundary near $E_a/(k_BT_0) \sim 1$is desired along with testing of these criteria in other SG systems.
