Chemometric Techniques for Quantitative Analysis

This excellent tutorial shows how to produce and use quantitative analytical calibrations in a laboratory or production environment, estimate the time and resources required to develop analytical calibrations, and employ the quantitative software provided with a wide range of instruments and commercial software packages. Highly graphical and virtually mathematics-free, Chemometric Techniques for Quantitative Analysis serves as an outstanding guide for analytical, environmental, pharmaceutical, and industrial and process chemists; geochemists; biologists and biochemists; spectroscopists and chromatographers; statisticians; food, forensic, and materials scientists; toxicologists; quality control managers; technicians and software engineers; and as a valuable supplemental text for undergraduate and graduate students in chemometrics and analytical chemistry courses. Chemometric Techniques for Quantitative Analysis shows how to produce and use quantitative analytical calibrations in a laboratory or production environment following a variety of methods, how to estimate the time and resources needed to develop analytical calibrations, and how to employ the quantitative software provided with a wide range of instruments and commercial software packages. Among several, this bestselling volume covers basic and classical approaches, component regression; PCR in action; partial least squares; PLS in action. An extensive appendix offers a glossary, a list of errors and tests for reduced Eigenvalues. Richard Kramer. Includes Bibliographical References (p. 191-195) And Index.
