Hello, I'm new to PCA analyses with my XANES data and started with the D-Athena. Are the TT Coefficients similar to a SPOIL value (SPOIL values are calculated as the quotient of real error in the target divided by the error in the data matrix)? I've seen that one researcher relied on SPOIL values <1 for populating his LCF models. The TT values of some of my standards I know to be unreasonable (e.g. reduced standard used for TT of an oxidized sample) gave me negative values. Should I only accept values >0. Thanks for your time. Respectfully, Bradley W. Miller, Ph.D. Post Doctoral Fellow Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education U. S.
