Chemometrics

13 okt 2023 - 24 nov 2023

The goal of the course is to teach students how to perform multivariate sensor calibration. Students will become familiar with the use of statistical concepts in chemometric applications. Most attention will be given to the ideas underlying the different methods and the application of these methods to realistic examples. Theoretical considerations and equations will be limited to what is needed to have sufficient insight to properly use the methods. Most examples will be related to spectroscopy and analytical chemistry, but the scope is broader. By using a combination of lectures, computer sessions and take home assignments the students will really learn how to apply the chemometric methods.

The following aspects of chemometrics will be handled in this course:

  • Classical modelling concepts for quantitative calibration: Classical Least Squares (CLS), Inverse Least Squares (ILS), Multivariate Linear Regression (MLR), Principle Component Regression (PCR) and Partial Least Squares (PLS).
  • Necessary steps for the creation and successful deployment of calibrations; Selection of calibration standards and assessment of the reliability of the models: (Test set validation vs. Cross-validation, model statistics). Special attention will be given to the methods for the selection of the number of principle components or latent variables in the projection methods.
  • Methods for data pre-processing with special attention for the phenomena of light scattering and instrument drift and the methods to deal with these phenomena: derivatives, standard normal variate (SNV), multiplicative signal correction (MSC) and extended multiplicative signal correction (EMSC).
  • Variable selection in a chemometric context and some commonly used methods for this.
  • Qualitative analysis in a chemometric context: discrimination and classification
  • New trends in chemometrics such as functional data analysis and augmented classical least squares (ACLS).
