title: A computer program for analysing complex bulk XAFS spectra and for performing significance tests.
abstract: LSFitXAFS is a computer program designed to calculate fractions of individual components (i.e. individual species, minerals, compounds or chemical environments) making up bulk XAFS spectra. The program performs Gaussian elimination and multiple linear regression techniques to simultaneously solve mass balance equations. In addition, the program contains a number of data reduction and analysis routines including the determination of random and systematic noise in Fourier-transformed spectra and calculation of the goodness-of-fit parameters for different combinations of shells.
