There are two Tutorials here, unfortunately they are in Spanish. They are simply introductory so you can follow along.

Maybe someone would make better English videos soon.

Saifi Izhar

This I have seen. i am hoping if someone can make complete video including error estimation and F peak values

Did you get any good English tutorial for PMF?

How did you calculate the uncertainty of all elements in your dataset? It would be helpful if you share. Thanks

I am yet to do PMF. However the uncertainity calculation has specific formulas, like above BDL and lower. And there is one factor called uncertainity factor for every species which is decided by the instrument you have performed your analysis or otherwise you can take from literature.

Thank you Saifi for your feedback.
