A user-friendly guide to Multivariate Calibration and Classification provides a readable text, for non-mathematicians, as an introduction with little or moderate knowledge of chemometrics. It is aimed specifically at readers using chemometrics in the context of near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. The techniques described are, however, much more widely applicable. Thus, although the columns were our starting point, our aim in rewriting and expanding them was to make this book a useful one for any chemometrics practitioner. Most of the examples still involve NIR spectroscopy, and some material that is specific to this application has been included, but we have tried to emphasise the generality of the approaches where ever possible.
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.
