Introduction to Chemometrics

The aim of this short course is to provide an overview of Chemometrics which would benefit all those working in the area of Process Analytical Technology. The course will provide the background knowledge used to support PAT, and the application examples will enable participants to see where these tools could be applied to their own processes. The course will cover the following areas: basic statistics; experimental design; principal components analysis; cluster analysis; signal processing.
