SoFi Workshop II

8 Apr 2015, 09:00 → 10 Apr 2015, 17:30 Europe/Zurich

Himmelrych (Bad Zurzach)

Francesco Canonaco (Paul Scherrer Institute)

The focus of this workshop is mainly on the Source Finder (SoFi) as a source apportionment tool.
During three intensive workshop days the particpants will:

1. learn the main features of the Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) and the Multilinear Engine (ME-2)
2. learn how to run PMF with ME-2 from SoFi
3. learn how to import and analyze PMF results in SoFi
4. learn several source apportionment strategies
5. have the possibility to work on their own data (individual support provided)
6. have the chance to present earlier PMF/ME-2 work, if desired
7. have the chance to exchance ongoing work in form of small presentations, if desired

This workshop is suited for PMF beginners, but also for advanced users
