Chemometrics
Short
Courses for Process Engineers and Analytical Chemists
Eigenvector
Research offers chemometrics short courses for chemists and engineers
who want to be able to analyze their own laboratory or process data
or develop their own data models. Those with an interest in exploratory
data analysis, development of predictive models such as analytical
instrument calibrations, software sensor models or times series
models used in process control will benefit from the course. Individuals
with an interest in multivariate statistical process control will
also want to attend.
Typical
Course Contents
Our
courses feature practical hands-on instruction designed to give
the student the fundamentals of many commonly used chemometric methods,
especially principal components analysis (PCA) and partial least
squares (PLS) regression. Our Process Chemometrics course
begins with a review of elementary statistics and linear algebra
and an introduction to the MATLAB software package for numerical
computation. Students work example problems using the PLS_Toolbox for use
with MATLAB, a chemometrics package developed by the course instructors.
The course also covers non-linear regression methods and analytical
instrument standardization. The course finishes with a look at multi-way
methods for analysis of multi-dimensional data arrays. Look here
for a detailed outline of a typical
3 day course.
We
also offer courses in Chemometrics without Equations, Multivariate
Image Analysis, Applied Multi-way Analysis, Multivariate
Statistical Process Control, and Inferentials for Process
Control.
Courses
at Open Sites
We
have presented our Chemometrics courses at EAS 2003-2008, Sanibel
2001, CAC 2000-2004, SSC6, FACSS'98-2008, IFPAC'97, IFPAC'98, SIMS
XI, ADCHEM'97 and SEMATECH AEC/APC conferences, and at IUCRCs (Industry/Universtiy
Cooperative Research Consortiums) such as CPAC, CPACT and MCEC.
In spring of 2006 through 2009, we held a series of open courses at Eigenvector
University and will return in 2010.

Training
at Your Site
Eigenvector
Research Inc. can bring short courses in chemometrics directly to
your site. We typically do a 3 day hands-on course using your computer
training facilities. This is an economically attractive alternative
to off-site training for class sizes as small as 5 persons. To date,
EVRI has done in-house courses for Boeing, Union Carbide, Dupont,
Eastman Chemical, Eastman Kodak, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Southwest
Research Institute, Dow, Sawtek, Texas Instruments, Proctor and
Gamble, Motorola, ICI, Aspen Technologies, Phillips Petroleum, Conoco,
Leybold Inficon, 3M, Genentech, USP, Pfizer and many others.
Custom
Designed Curricula
EVRI
will work with you to develop short courses that suit your needs
and interests. Course material can be selected from our growing
library or developed specifically for your applications.
Up-to-date
Materials
Our
research keeps us at the forefront of developments in chemometrics.
We can provide instruction on active research areas such as multivariate
statistical process control, second order techniques, curve resolution,
non-linear modelling methods and genetic algorithms.
