Chemometrics in Spectroscopy

Chemometrics in Spectroscopy, Revised Second Edition provides the reader with the methodology crucial to apply chemometrics to real world data. The book allows scientists using spectroscopic instruments to find explanations and solutions to their problems when they are confronted with unexpected and unexplained results. Unlike other books on these topics, it explains the root causes of the phenomena that lead to these results. While books on NIR spectroscopy sometimes cover basic chemometrics, they do not mention many of the advanced topics this book discusses.

This revised second edition has been expanded with 50% more content on advances in the field that have occurred in the last 10 years, including calibration transfer, units of measure in spectroscopy, principal components, clinical data reporting, classical least squares, regression models, spectral transfer, and more.

• Written in the column format of the authors' online magazine
• Presents topical and important chapters for those involved in analysis work, both research and routine
• Focuses on practical issues in the implementation of chemometrics for NIR Spectroscopy
• Includes a companion website with 350 additional color figures that illustrate CLS concepts
