nmfMapping: a cloud-based web application for non-negative matrix factorization of powder diffraction and pair distribution function datasets

Abstract

A cloud-hosted web-based software application, nmfMapping, for carrying out a nonnegative matrix factorization of a set of powder diffraction or atomic pair distribution function datasets is described. This app allows structure scientists to rapidly find trends in sets of related data such as from in situ and operando diffraction experiments.The application is easy to use and does not require any programming expertise. It is available at the pdfitc.org website.
