Scheme of the data analysis procedure. (a) Collection of azimuthally integrated SAXS/WAXS intensity curves Inline graphic, for Inline graphic, where r is the number of Inline graphic points. (b) M 2 is formed by selecting only the d intensities Inline graphic where inflection points occur. (c) Dimensionality reduction: principal component analysis is applied to M 2 and the number of main variables is reduced to m principal components PCj, for Inline graphic. The optimal number of clusters n is evaluated and the signals are classified into n clusters. We assume n = 4 in this example. The scanned map is segmented according to the clustering results. (d) Estimation of a representative signal Inline graphic by selecting points that are located furthest from all centroids, for Inline graphic. Further details about each step can be found in the text.
