A User-Friendly Guide to Multivariate Calibration and Classification 2017

The field of chemometrics in general, and multivariate calibration and classification in particular, is now an essential tool for many analytical techniques. This book provides a readable text, for non-mathematicians, as an introduction to these areas for people with little or moderate knowledge of chemometrics. The book has been designed in an attractive and easily read format, with many diagrams and the use of margin notes to highlight important features.The authors are all very well known in the field and they bring a complementary range of experience and interests to this project.
