The target audience for this workshop are those getting started in chemometrics and want a solid introduction to the fundamentals, and managers that are interested in having a better understanding of the problems faced in multivariate measurements and techniques and possibilities available for their applications. This introductory course concentrates on two areas of chemometrics: (1) exploratory data analysis and pattern recognition and (2) regression. Participants learn to apply techniques such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA), SIMCA, Principal Component Regression (PCR) and Partial Least Squares regression (PLS). The most commonly used methods of outlier detection and data pretreatment with also be illustrated. An emphasis will be put on understanding the chemometric process without having to learn matrix algebra.
