Non-Parametric Comparison of Crystallographic Orientation Distributions

Abstract

Revisiting a spiral design for X-ray pole figure measurementsand a symbolic definition of a cumulative crystallographic orientation distributiona one-dimensional deterministic approximately uniform sequential design is appliedto evaluate and cumulate a given orientation density function resulting in a properly definedcumulative crystallographic orientation distribution.It provides a complementary means to compare distributionsin terms of graphs and the Kolomogorov-Smirnov distance.
