Descripción
The principal components analysis (PCA) technique is used to develop an
extremely fast and stable Stokes inversion code, suitable for
application to large data sets from instruments that operate under
standard conditions. This paper provides some tips on reducing the
dimensionality of the problem, which are then used to develop a
practical implementation of PCA for the automatic analysis of Stokes
profiles. The resulting code is tested using real spectropolarimetric
observations of the pair of Fe I lines at 6302 Å at a sunspot.
