Learning Outcomes
Competences
Students will be able to design, implement, and critically evaluate chemometric workflows for chemical and biochemical data, from preprocessing and modelling to validation and scientific reporting.
Skills Knowledge
• Preprocess spectral/chromatographic data (baseline, smoothing, derivatives, normalization, SNV/MSC, alignment) for robust modeling (k2, k3, k4). • Perform and interpret exploratory analysis (PCA, clustering; scores, loadings, outliers) (k2, k3, k4, k5). • Build and validate calibration models (PCR/PLS) using cross validation; report RMSE, R2, and bias (k3, k4, k5). • Develop and assess classification models (LDA, kNN, SVM/PLS DA) with confusion matrices and ROC/AUC (k3, k4, k5). • Plan and analyze simple experiments (screening/factorial, response surfaces) (k2, k3, k4). • Produce reproducible analyses in R/Python/MATLAB and communicate results in a scientific style (k3, k4, k5). The lecture covers: • Chemometric foundations: data structures, measurement error, basic statistical tests, overfitting vs. generalization. • Data preprocessing for spectra/chromatograms: detrending, Savitzky–Golay, derivatives, scaling, SNV/MSC, retention time correction. • Exploratory analysis: PCA and clustering; leverage/outlier diagnostics; cluster analysis. • Calibration and classification: MLR, PCR, PLS; LDA/kNN/SVM/PLS DA; validation strategies and key figures of merit (RMSE, R2, sensitivity/specificity). • Design of experiments (DoE): screening, factorials, response surface methods; • Process monitoring (MSPC) and PAT basics, measure uncertainty: Hotelling’s T2, SPE/Q control limits., etc.
