“…Alternatives to library matching approach are blind decomposition methods, wherein pure components' spectra are extracted using mixtures spectra only. Blind approaches to pure components spectra extraction have been reported in NMR spectroscopy [1], infrared (IR) [2][3][4] and near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy [4][5][6], EPR spectroscopy [7,8], mass spectrometry [4, 9,1 0] Raman spectroscopy [11,12] etc. In a majority of blind decomposition schemes independent component analysis (ICA) [13][14][15] is employed to solve related blind source separation (BSS) problem.…”
