Using the IRAS catalog of low resolution spectra (LRS), we have analyzed the silicate features in emission and absorption, the carbon-rich emission features and the featureless spectra, in the range 8–22 μm. The sample sizes are large enough to allow average properties to be established (e.g. energy distributions), as well as correlations between luminosities, excesses, colors and coordinates, and histograms and galactic distributions, all with a good degree of confidence.
