Main Methods:

  • Multivariate statistical analysis, including principal component analysis (PCA) and independent component analysis (ICA).
  • Dimensional estimation and reduction using PCA.
  • Generation of statistically independent factor images and scores.
  • Application to experimental images of dislocation cores in strontium titanate.

Main Results:

  • Factor images highlight physical structure changes and intensity variations.
  • Scores quantify the presence of these variations in the original data.
  • A direct relationship between chemical composition and lattice strain was identified.
  • Picometer-scale lattice shifts were measured due to compositional changes.

Conclusions:
