Definition:
Tailing factor
The tailing
factor is a measure of peak tailing. It is defined as the distance
from the front slope of the peak to the back slope divided by twice the
distance from the center line of the peak to the front slope, with all
measurements made at 5% of the maximum peak height. The tailing factor
of a peak will typically be similar to the asymmetry factor for the same peak, but
the two values cannot be directly converted.
