Abstract: Methods and systems for determining a mapped intensity metric are described. Determining the mapped intensity metric includes determining an intensity metric for a manufacturing system. The intensity metric is determined based on a reflectivity of a location on a substrate and a manufacturing system characteristic. Determining the mapped intensity metric also includes determining a mapped intensity metric for a reference system. The reference system has a reference system characteristic. The mapped intensity metric is determined based on the intensity metric, the manufacturing system characteristic, and the reference system characteristic, to mimic determination of the intensity metric for the manufacturing system using the reference system. In some embodiments, the reference system is virtual, and the manufacturing system is physical.

Abstract: A method and system for processing loan applications in a financial institution is provided. The method includes a step of receiving a first loan application from a first loan applicant. The first loan application includes personal information of the first loan applicant. Further, the method includes the step of determining a repayment score for the first loan applicant based on the personal information of the first loan applicant. The repayment score is calculated using a polynomial equation. The polynomial equation represents a relationship between personal information of a plurality of past loan applications and a plurality of past repayment scores. Furthermore, the method includes processing the first loan application based on a threshold set for repayment scores for a particular type of loan.
