The application of the technique requires that a model exists to compute the response of the measurements (''q'') to variations of the system parameters (''p''), i.e. the mapping ''q = M(p)'' is known. | The application of the technique requires that a model exists to compute the response of the measurements (''q'') to variations of the system parameters (''p''), i.e. the mapping ''q = M(p)'' is known. | ||

The fast reconstruction of the system parameters is obtained by computing the inverse of the mapping ''M''. To do so, the parameters ''p'' are varied over a range corresponding to the expected variation in actual experiments, the corresponding ''q'' are obtained, and the set of ''(p,q)'' data are stored in a database. This database is then subjected to a statistical analysis in order to recover the inverse of ''M''. This analysis is typically a [[:Wikipedia:Principal Component Analysis|Principal Component Analysis]]. This procedure is also amenable to a rather detailed error analysis, so that errors in the recovered parameters ''p'' for the interpretation of actual data ''q'' can be obtained. | The fast reconstruction of the system parameters is obtained by computing the inverse of the mapping ''M''.
