T-matrix method is compared to the pattern equation method. It is shown that the pattern equation method allows analytical averaging of particle orientation, as well as the T-matrix method. However, the pattern equation method is applicable to diffraction problems for a broader class of particle geometry and gives higher accuracy than the T-matrix method.
