Multivariate Calibration [Paperback]

Harald Martens (Author), Tormod Næs (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 28, 1992 | ISBN-10: 0471930474 | ISBN-13: 978-0471930471 | Edition: 1

Multivariate Calibration Harald Martens, Chemist, Norwegian Food Research Institute, Aas, Norway and Norwegian Computing Center, Oslo, Norway Tormod N?s, Statistician, Norwegian Food Research Institute, Aas, Norway The aim of this inter-disciplinary book is to present an up-to-date view of multivariate calibration of analytical instruments, for use in research, development and routine laboratory and process operation. The book is intended to show practitioners in chemistry and technology how to extract the quantitative and understandable information embedded in non-selective, overwhelming and apparently useless measurements by multivariate data analysis. Multivariate calibration is the process of learning how to combine data from several channels, in order to overcome selectivity problems, gain new insight and allow automatic outlier detection. Multivariate calibration is the basis for the present success of high-speed Near-Infrared (NIR) diffuse spectroscopy of intact samples. But the technique is very general: it has shown similar advantages in, for instance, UV, Vis, and IR spectrophotometry, (transmittance, reflectance and fluorescence), for x-ray diffraction, NMR, MS, thermal analysis, chromatography (GC, HPLC) and for electrophoresis and image analysis (tomography, microscopy), as well as other techniques. The book is written at two levels: the main level is structured as a tutorial on the practical use of multivariate calibration techniques. It is intended for university courses and self-study for chemists and technologists, giving one complete and versatile approach, based mainly on data compression methodology in self-modelling PLS regression, with considerations of experimental design, data pre-processing and model validation. A second, more methodological, level is intended for statisticians and specialists in chemometrics. It compares several alternative calibration methods, validation approaches and ways to optimize the models. The book also outlines some cognitive changes needed in analytical chemistry, and suggests ways to overcome some communication problems between statistics and chemistry and technology.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book- ridiculous price, May 15, 2001

This review is from: Multivariate Calibration (Paperback)

I used the previous edition of this book to teach myself the basics of mulitvariate calibration for use in my research on microfluidic biosensor systems. It is well written with a good development of concepts. It also does a good job of defining the multiplicity of redundant terms in this jargon-soaked field. It requires knowledge of basic linear algebra and assumes an analytical chemistry background. Overall I would recommend it for its content. The price of this edition, however, is criminal. The editing in the '89 edition was atrocious and the graphics very basic. I suppose this new edition could have cleaned that all up... but please! It's only 400-odd pages and it's a paperback! I'm shopping on e-bay for this one.

Are you crazy? Who spend more than 200 dollars for this book? Everything about this topic can be found in the web...Be more reasonable while you write a comment/review about a book like this! And think again before buying it!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic on Multivariate Calibration, June 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Multivariate Calibration (Paperback)

Martens and Naes do an excellent service by providing an indepth presentation on multivariate calibration. I recommend this book to all who want more than a cursory look at this topic which so many others provide.
