Abstract
We describe the use of principle component analysis (PCA) to serve as a prefilter for cluster analysis or pattern récognition analysis of soft x-ray spectromicroscopy data. Cluster analysis provides a method to group régions with common spectral features even if no prior knowledge of their spectra is available, such as in biology or environmental science.
