"... offers an accessible introduction to application-oriented multivariate methods of data analysis and procedures that are highly beneficial to solving a variety of problems using analytical chemistry and statistics. ... this book uses application-oriented examples to illustrate how chemometrics techniques can be applied to complex scenarios with multiple and dynamic variables. ... Numerous worked examples using MATLAB (R) code are offered, to illustrate how easily these techniques can be adapted to various experimental scenarios. ... The book presents a diverse selection of topics that include sampling, modeling, experimental design, calibration, pattern recognition, data-analysis techniques, algorithms, and error. This second edition has been completely revised... It also includes expanded material on normal distributions, sampling theory, signal processing, and digital filtering. Each chapter includes a summary, solutions to problems, recommended reading, and key references for the applications and methods introduced. ... continues to offer a reliable source of useful information in a style that is accessible to all levels of students, professionals, and researchers involved in analyzing scientific data. In summary, the aim of the book is to illustrate chemometric methods through practical examples in a style that makes the material accessible to a broad audience of non-experts. "

"... offers an accessible introduction to application oriented-multivariate methods of data analysis and procedures that are highly beneficial to solving a variety of problems suing analytical chemistry and statistics." The book "builds on fundamental concepts to reach advanced topics in chemometrics". ... in the 520 pages of text there is likely to be an answer to your chemometrics question. As a single book this does well to cover so much ground. I certainly recommend it for any library or laboratory bookshelf."
