There are numerous worked examples, including the use of Microsoft Excel and Minitab, and a large number of student exercises, many of them based on examples from the analytical literature. Key features expanded treatment of control charts additions to cover single point calibration and method comparison techniques extended treatment of robust methods major additions to sections on multivariate regression numerous worked examples, using Microsoft Excel and Minitab an attractive two-colour text design updated Instructors' manual improved website including examples for lecturers and students This book is aimed at undergraduate and graduate courses in Analytical Chemistry and related topics. It will also be a valuable resource for researchers and chemists working in analytical chemistry. Professor James Miller is Emeritus Professor of Analytical Chemistry at Loughborough University. He has published numerous reviews and papers on analytical techniques and been awarded the SAC Silver Medal, the Theophilus Redwood Lectureship and the SAC Gold Medal by the Royal Society of Chemsitry. A Past President of the Analytical Division of the RSC, he is a member of the Society's Council and has served on the editorial boards of many analytical and spectroscopic journals. Dr Jane Miller completed a PhD at Cambridge University's Cavendish Laboratory and is an experienced teacher of mathematics and physics at higher education and 6th form levels. She holds an MSc in Applied Statistics and is the author of several specialist A-level statistics texts.

Chemometrics Explore chemometrics from basic statistics to the latest artificial intelligence and neural network developments in this new edition Chemometrics is an area of study combining chemistry and mathematics. It governs the interpretation of data generated by chemical analysis, and its growth as a subfield promises to streamline and revolutionize analytical chemistry. Chemometrics has long been the leading introductory textbook in this subject. Beginning with an introduction to the statistical-mathematical evaluation of chemical measurements, it leads readers through modern chemometric approaches in a pedagogically sound and highly readable style. Now fully updated to reflect the latest research and applications of this exciting discipline, it provides essential tools for a new generation of analytical chemists. Readers of the fourth edition of Chemometrics will also find: New or expanded treatment of subjects such as deep learning, ANNOVA simultaneous component analysis, instrumental data output, and more Detailed discussion of approaches to signal processing, design and optimization of experiments, pattern recognition and classification, and many other areas Balance of theoretical and practical knowledge to enable rapid application of key techniques Chemometrics is ideal for advanced students in chemistry, analytical chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, biochemistry, or related subjects, and as a useful reference for practicing researchers and laboratory professionals.

Using formal descriptions, graphical illustrations, practical examples, and R software tools, Introduction to Multivariate Statistical Analysis in Chemometrics presents simple yet thorough explanations of the most important multivariate statistical methods for analyzing chemical data. It includes discussions of various statistical methods, such as

At a time when computerized laboratory automation is producing a da ta explosion, chemists are turning to applied mathematics and statistics for the tools to extract useful chemical information from data. This rush to find applicable methods has lead to a somewhat confusing body of literature that represents a barrier to chemists wishing to learn more about chemometrics. The confusion results partly from the mixing of chemical notation and nomenclature with those of statistics, applied mathematics and engineering. Additionally, in the absence of collaboration with mathematicians, chemists have, at times, misused data analysis methodology and even reinvented methods that have seen years of service in other fields. The Chemometrics Society has worked hard to solve this problem since it was founded in 1974 with the goal of improving communications between the chemical sciences and applied mathe matics and statistics. The NATO Advanced Study Institute on Chemometrics is evidence of this fact as it was initiated in response to a call from its membership for advanced training in several areas of chemometrics. This Institute focused on current theory and application in the new field of Chemometrics: Use of mathematical and statistical methods, Ca) to design or select optimal measurement procedures and experiments; and Cb) to provide maximum chemical information by analyzing chemical data. The Institute had two formal themes and two informal themes.
