This book focuses particularly on the application of chemometrics in the field of analytical chemistry. In infrared spectroscopy for instance, chemometrics consists in the prediction of a quantitative variable (the obtention of which is delicate, requiring a chemical analysis and a qualified operator), such as the concentration of a component present in the studied product from spectral data measured on various wave­lengths or wavenumbers.
In this book the author proposes a methodology in the field of chemometrics to handle the spectrophotometric data which are often represented in high...
