Computation of the range (band boundaries) of feasible solutions and measure of the rotational ambiguity in self-modeling/multivariate curve resolution.

Nowadays self-modeling/multivariate curve resolution algorithms have become very popular in chemometrics, i.e. for evaluating analytical chemical measurements. The developments split into two directions: (1) finding band solution and (2) finding unique solution. For band solutions the task is to find the band boundaries of the feasible regions. The size of the range calculated in this way can be considered as the measure of the rotational ambiguity. In this paper the developed methods are compared and some theoretical and practical considerations are given according to the improper and proper calculations.
