...Procedures to interpret the scattered light measurement, or scattergram, are developed using statistical techniques such as inverse least squares ( ILS ) principal component analysis ( PCA ) [4], and neural nets [5] These procedures all require a training set, which is a number of well characterized samples which have one or more properties which are to be analyzed....
