Validation of non-negative matrix factorization for assessment of atomic pair-distribution function (PDF) data in a real-time streaming context
We validate the use of matrix factorization for the automatic identification of relevant components from atomic pair distribution function (PDF) data. We also present a newly developed software infrastructure for analyzing the PDF data arriving in streaming manner. We then apply two matrix factorization techniques, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF), to study simulated and experiment datasets in the context of in situ experiment.
