Description
Chemometrics in Spectroscopy builds upon the statistical information covered in other books written by these leading
authors in the field by providing a broader range of mathematics and progressing into the fundamentals of multivariate and experimental
data analysis. Subjects covered in this work include: matrix algebra, analytic geometry, experimental design, calibration regression,
linearity, design of collaborative laboratory studies, comparing analytical methods, noise analysis, use of derivatives, analytical accuracy,
analysis of variance, and much more are all part of this chemometrics compendium. Developed in the form of a tutorial offering a basic
hands-on approach to chemometric and statistical analysis for analytical scientists, experimentalists, and spectroscopists. Without using
complicated mathematics,
Chemometrics in Spectroscopy demonstrates the basic principles underlying the use of common
experimental, chemometric, and statistical tools. Emphasis has been given to problem-solving applications and the proper use and interpretation
of data used for scientific research.
Audience:
For graduate students and above and for the practicing analyst or theoretician. Chemometricians, bioinformaticians, econometricians, psychometricians,
statisticians, scientists, spectroscopists, analysts, clinicians, researchers, computer scientists, information specialists, and students
in the natural sciences will all find the short descriptive chapters both helpful and full of valuable insight for mathematical and philosophical
methods and approaches common to all these fields.
