MATLAB® for Chemometricians

September 17, 2020


The recorded version of this course is now available in our EigenU Recorded Courses area.

Eigenvector Research, Inc. is pleased to bring you MATLAB® for Chemometricians, an online instructor-led live short course. Complete information about the course can be found by following the links below. (MATLAB is a registered trademark of The MathWorks, Natick, MA, USA.)

Course Description

MATLAB, a contraction of “Matrix Laboratory”, is a great environment for working with large quantities of data such as that found in most chemometric applications. MATLAB for Chemometricians covers the basic MATLAB operations needed to use Eigenvector’s chemometrics software, (e.g. PLS_Toolbox). Data import, plotting and getting help are also covered in this half-day course. Students will also learn to write basic scripts and functions, thus opening the door to programming custom routines for data analysis. The course includes hands-on computer time for participants to work example problems using PLS_Toolbox and MATLAB®.

Prerequisites

Linear Algebra for Chemometricians or equivalent experience.
