Schematic of Traditional Approach vs. Information Theory Approach

Figure 1. Schematic of the Traditional Approach to data analysis (Red) vs. our Information Theory Approach (Black). Figure 1a compares the efficiency curves of an “ideal impactor” and that of a typical actual impactor efficiency curve. Figures 1b and 1c show the quality of the recovered distributions using the traditional “ideal curve” assumption (Red) and the Information theory approach (Black).
