26. To confirm that surface segregation of Pd was truly occurring in these nanopaiticles, multivariate statistical analysis (MSA) was performed on the data set shown in Fig. 2B. MSA is a group of processing techniques that can be used to identify specific features within large data sets such as x-ray spectrum images and to reduce random noise components in the data sets in a statistical manner. MSA has recently been shown to be particularly useful for analysis of x-ray maps taken from nanoparticles (29). This statistical technique performs a data-smoothing calculation by portioning the XEDS data using a probability density function.
