DEFit (for CW spectra:

CwdipFit)

• All spectra were provided by the anonymous symposium participants and analyzed blindly using DEFit (till today we don’t know what the spectra are)

• The spectrum naming (slide titles) follow the key provided by the panel moderator, Dr. Eric Hustedt.

• Hardware: Intel Duo Core2, Matlab 2007b

•components A and B very well defined:narrow distributionsassymetric population

•component (c) badly defined component

C

A,B

3 Gaussians

2b

Noisy data => large error surfaceaverage distance better defined than the distribution
