Investigation of Criteria for Comparing of Natural and LED Radiation Spectral Distribution by P. S. Bogdan, E. G. Zaytseva, A. I. Stepanenko

“…To minimize the values of criteria are proposed additive and subtractive methods for calculating LED parameters. Their comparison allowed us to conclude that a more complex calculation algorithm, but higher performance for an additive technique than for a subtractive one with the same minimization results.It was found that to simulate the spectral composition of natural radiation using LEDs, it is most effective to use the criteria "standard deviations of the relative differences between the optical and visible spectral components of natural and LED radiation". …”
