Comparing Or/and Fitting Pre-calculated Data
Mathematical models of the physical process (scattering, emission, absorption) allow to calculate expected data (spectra and diffraction pattern). The expected data can be compared with or fitted to the experimental data.
- X-ray crystallography
- Infrared spectroscopy

Famous quotes containing the words comparing, fitting and/or data:
“There is no comparing the brutality and cynicism of today’s pop culture with that of forty years ago: from High Noon to Robocop is a long descent.”
—Charles Krauthammer (b. 1950)
“Greater glory in the sun,
An evening chill upon the air,
Bid imagination run
Much on the Great Questioner;
What He can question, what if questioned I
Can with a fitting confidence reply.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Mental health data from the 1950’s on middle-aged women showed them to be a particularly distressed group, vulnerable to depression and feelings of uselessness. This isn’t surprising. If society tells you that your main role is to be attractive to men and you are getting crow’s feet, and to be a mother to children and yours are leaving home, no wonder you are distressed.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
