State Estimation in Chemometrics

This unique text blends together state estimation and chemometrics for the application of advanced data-processing techniques. State Estimation in Chemometrics, second edition describes the basic methods for chemical analysis-the multicomponent, calibration and titration systems-from a new perspective. It succinctly reviews the history of state estimation and chemometrics and provides examples of its many applications, including classical estimation, state estimation, nonlinear estimation, the multicomponent, calibration and titration systems and the Kalman filter. The concepts are introduced in a logical way and built up systematically to appeal to specialist post-graduates working in this area as well as professionals in other areas of chemistry and engineering. This new edition covers the latest research in chemometrics, appealing to readers in bio-engineering, food science, pharmacy, and the life sciences fostering cross-disciplinary research. - Features a new chapter surveying the most up-to-date scientific literature on chemometrics, highlighting developments that have occurred since the first edition published - Includes a new chapter devoted to new applications for state estimation in chemometrics - Covers a new chapter entirely devoted to subspace identification methods - Provides several new real-life examples of methods such as multiple modeling, principal component analysis, iterative target transformation factor analysis, and the generalized standard addition method

Dr. Pierre Cornelis Thijssen studied chemistry at the Radboud University Nijmegen in the Netherlands, obtaining his Master's Degree in 1978. He then moved to the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, where he graduated in 1986 with a PhD based on his thesis entitled 'State Estimation in Chemometrics,” which is the basis of this book. Since then, Dr. Thijssen has worked for various companies as a laboratory manager and chemometrician.
