Description

Numerous and diverse mathematical methods have been used to model the full-energy photopeak (FEP) efficiency-to-energy relationship. An evaluation of linear interpolative, cubic spline interpolative, Ln-Ln linear, Ln-Ln quadratic, non-linear fitting utilizing a reciprocal power fit, and higher order polynomial fitting methods were contrasted. The choice of mathematical fitting method should be constrained to provide results which are consistent with physical-theoretical considerations of the energy-efficiency relationship being modeled.
