CHEM 662L Applied Chemometrics

Applied Chemometrics will cover the fundamentals of many commonly used chemometric methods such as principal components analysis (PCA) and partial least squares (PLS) regression. Emphasis will be on applying these techniques in the chemical process and laboratory environment for instrument calibration, sample classification, Multivariate Statistical Process Control (MSPC), experimental design, and hypothesis testing. The class begins with a brief review of linear algebra and basic statistics and moves quickly into multivariate methods. Advanced methods and variable selection will be covered. The course includes broad coverage of common applications and discussion of common mistakes in chemometrics and how to avoid them.
