METHOD FOR OPTIMIZING MULTIVARIATE CALIBRATIONS

摘要

The present invention is a method for optimizing multivariate calibrations such as those used on FT-IR analyzers. The method involves the selection of an optimum subset of samples to use in the calibration form a larger set of available samples. The subset selection is done so as to minimize the bias o f the resulting calibration while simultaneously maintaining acceptable standa rd errors and ensuring maximal range for the model.
