This book will appeal to both practitioners and researchers in industrial and university analytical laboratories, as well as students specializing in analytical spectroscopy and chemometrics. The subjects covered include the advanced principles of calibration (univariate and multivariate) and the estimation of the peak parameters in spectra with overlapping components. This book differs from existing studies on the subject in that it provides easily reproducible computer calculations illustrating its significant theoretical statements. As such, it can also serve as a practical guide to lecturers in analytical spectrometry and chemometrics.
This book sums up over half a century of research in derivative spectroscopy. For the first time, it offers the big picture of all spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic derivative methods, with reproducible calculations, serving as a practical guide for researchers and students.
