SING tute of SUMMARY The B-spline zero (BO) compression method has been investigated for three different raw spectrometric data sets, namely NIR reflectance, FT-IR reflectance and UV-VIS transmittance data. The data were modelled with partial least squares (PLS) regression and we have investigated the compression ratio and model dimensionality versus the ability to preserve the information of the original data as a function of knot sequence guide type, i.e. mean, standard deviation (SD) and relative standard deviation (RSD) of the variables.Generally we conclude that the investigated data can be compressed to about 20% of the original number of variables without loss of prediction ability or change in model dimensionality (number of pc's) in comparison with the original data.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
