Basic Chemometric Techniques in Atomic Spectroscopy

Download or read book Basic Chemometric Techniques in Atomic Spectroscopy written by Jose Manuel Andrade-Garda and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2009-06-15 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book for atomic spectroscopists to present the basic principles of experimental designs, optimization and multivariate regression. Multivariate regression is a valuable statistical method for handling complex problems (such as spectral and chemical interferences) which arise during atomic spectrometry. However, the technique is underused as most spectroscopists do not have time to study the often complex literature on the subject. This practical introduction uses conceptual explanations and worked examples to give readers a clear understanding of the technique. Mathematics is kept to a minimum but, when required, is kept at a basic level.
