About this Chemistry article

Assuring specificity for a multivariate near-infrared (NIR) calibration: The example of the Chambersburg Shoot-out 2002 data set by Karl H. Norris; Gary E. Ritchie is a Chemistry article available to read on EtoBox.

A method for demonstrating specificity has been developed for NIR calibrations involving the use of partial least squares (PLS) regressions. The method is demonstrated with near-infrared transmittance data on pharmaceutical tablets. A regression was performed with PLS and the first principal component spectrum is shown to match the spectrum of the active ingredient as well as a spectrum extracted from the original file. A good match demonstrates that the calibration is specific for the active component. The effects on the match for different pretreatments were evaluated.

It is typically read by researchers, students, and practitioners in Chemistry.
