Abstract:
A set of parameters used in a model of a spectrometer includes free parameters and fixed parameters. A first set of values for the parameters is set and the model is used to generate a first spectrum. A value of one of the fixed parameters is changed and a second spectrum is generated. An inverse of the model of the spectrometer is then applied to the second spectrum to generate a set of values for the parameters, the values being the same as the first set of values except for one or more of the free parameters. If the free parameter has significantly changed the fixed parameter is designated a free parameter.
