Systems and methods for unmixing spectroscopic data using nonnegative matrix factorization during spectrographic data processing are provided according to various embodiments. In an embodiment, a method of processing spectrographic data may include receiving optical absorbance data associated with a sample and iteratively computing values for component spectra using nonnegative matrix factorization. The values for component spectra may be iteratively computed until optical absorbance data is approximately equal to a Hadamard product of a pathlength matrix and a matrix product of a concentration matrix and a component spectra matrix. The method may also include iteratively computing values for pathlength using nonnegative matrix factorization, in which pathlength values may be iteratively computed until optical absorbance data is approximately equal to a Hadamard product of the pathlength matrix and the matrix product of the concentration matrix and the component spectra matrix. |
