One- and two-channel maximum entropy methods (MEMs) have been applied
to simulated and experimental Raman spectra of both single and double
(overlapping) bands. The extent to which signal recovery is affected b
y signal-to-noise ratios has been determined with the me of measures b
ased on the mean sum of squared residuals, loss of band intensity, and
band area reduction. The analysis demonstrates that the two-channel a
pproach results in improved signal recovery, especially at high signal
-to-noise ratios.
