Calculation settings

Table 124 Calculation settings for module Exposure mixtures.
Name Description

Sparseness constraints

Sparseness parameter. Should be a value between 0 (not sparse, many substances) and 1 (sparse, few substances).

Number of mixtures

The number of mixtures.

Number of iterations

Number of iterations, e.g. 1000.

Seed for pseudo-random number generator.

Random seed for initializing matrix W and H.

Exposures are

Exposures are risk based (expressed in equivalents of the reference substance) or standardized.

Convergence criterion

Convergence criterion for factorization algorithm.

Cutoff for ratio total exposure/ maximum

For selection of individual(day) exposures specify cutoff for ratio total exposure/ maximum.

Cutoff percentage (%) for total exposure

For selection of individual(day) exposures specify cutoff percentage (%) for total exposure.
