Diagram of decomposition analysis. The decomposition analysis can be expressed in equation form in bits as follows:

Perfect Performance – Exact Profile = Acuity Effect + Crowding Effect + Mislocation Effect

Where:

Acuity Effect = Perfect Profile – Single-Letter Profile (Blue Area)

Crowding Effect = Single-Letter Profile – Mislocational Profile (Yellow Area)

Mislocation Effect = Mislocational Profile – Exact Profile (Red Area)
