This excellent tutorial shows how to produce and use quantitative analytical calibrations in a laboratory or production environment, estimate the time and resources required to develop analytical calibrations, and employ quantitative software to successfully produce and deploy calibrations. Written in a step-by-step, conversational style, *Chemometric Techniques for Quantitative Analysis* describes and fully illustrates the Classical Least Squares (CLS), Inverse Least-squares (ILS), Principal Component Regression (PCR), and Partial Least-Squares (PLS) techniques discusses the selection of calibration standards introduces the fundamentals of factor spaces used in qualitative and discriminant analysis details the initial and continuing validation of calibrations and analyzers explains the similarities, differences, pitfalls, and tradeoffs among different chemometric techniques outlines the necessary steps for the creation and successful long-term deployment of analytical calibrations demonstrates how chemometric techniques can improve calibrations and produce better analytical results facilitates understanding of the current literature reveals important capabilities and features in your own software helps you futher explore the techniques using the comprehensive bibliography and more!	Highly graphical and virtually mathematics free, *Chemometric Techniques for Quantitative Analysis* serves as an outstanding guide for analytical environmental, pharmaceutical, and industrial and process chemists; geochemists; biologists and biochemists; forensic and materials scientists; toxicologists; quality control managers; and technicians and software engi neers; and as a valuable supplemental text for professional seminars as well as undergraduate and graduate chemometrics and analytical chemistry courses. "Kramer's book succeeds admirably in its task of providing a gentle but concise introduction to what can often seem a daunting subject. The presentation of ideas is clear and straightforward, as is the style of writing... a useful introduction to chemometrics for chemists, and indeed scientists of all kinds wishing to apply chemometric techniques in their own discipline." -Chemistry in Britain "...recommended for anyone responsible for developing analytical chemistry calibrations using instrumentation or who is designing software for the instrimuentation and for all academic libraries." -E-Streams Table of Contents Introduction Basic Approach Creating Some Data Classical Least-Squares Inverse Least-Squares Factor Spaces Principal Component Regression PCR in Action Partial Least-Squares PLS in Action Appendix A - Matrices and Matrix Operations Appendix B - Errors: some Definitions of Terminology Appendix C - Centering and Scaling Appendix D - F-Tests for Reduced Eigenvalues Appendix E - Leverage and Influence Bibliography
