Publisher's Synopsis
A Chemometrics Guide for Chromatographers, Volume 33 in the Data Handling in Science and Technology series, helps bring chemometrics and statistics to the chromatographic field, with the aim of making the statistical tools understandable and useful for this community. There are excellent textbooks about chemometrics and chromatography available on the market, but none are devoted solely to bringing both fields together in a simple language. The nature of the data arising from chromatography deserves special attention (e.g., data alignment, hyphenation or two-dimensional chromatography) and is thoroughly covered in this comprehensive resource, along with other specialized chapters.
Over recent decades, chemometricians have been busy developing algorithms and smart statistical techniques to (i) Optimize analytical instruments and (ii) Extract the maximum information out of the data generated by the instruments. It is no longer possible for separation scientists and chemometricians to work in isolation, as both spheres of knowledge must go hand-in-hand.
