Full Description
This new edition contains 10 percent more worked examples as well as the addition of modern chemometric developments, such as support vector machines, wavelet transformations and multi-way analysis. With its inclusion of statistics, fuzzy theory, databases, and quality assurance, this remains the textbook with the broadest coverage, and retains such proven features as additional information provided in the margin, a glossary of terms plus an overview of suitable chemometric software. While ideal for students of chemistry, pharmacy, biochemistry and ecology, this is equally useful for scientists in industry and research institutes.
