✦ Synopsis

A method is described for quantifying individual absorbing species in mixtures of unknown composition. The algorithm can be applied to the resolution of chromatographic peaks, to the evaluation of spectrophotometric titrations, and to related methods producing ordered, two-dimensional arrays of data. In contrast to rank-annihilation factor analysis, it is sufficient to know the absorption spectrum of the species in question. All information about the response in the second dimension, e.g., the concentration profile(s), results from the numerical analysis.
