ChemometricsShort Courses for Process Engineers and Analytical ChemistsEigenvector 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 ContentsOur 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 SitesWe have presented our Chemometrics courses at EAS 2003-2005, Sanibel 2001, CAC 2000-2004, SSC6, FACSS'98-2005, 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 April 2007, we held a series of 14 open courses at Eigenvector University 2007 and will return in 2008. The upcoming course offerings are listed below:
Training at Your SiteEigenvector 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 CurriculaEVRI 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 MaterialsOur 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. Instruction in MATLAB® and SIMULINK.EVRI offers instruction on the use of MATLAB. Distributed by The MathWorks, Inc., MATLAB is a technical computing environment for high-performance numeric computation and visualization. MATLAB integrates numerical analysis, matrix computation, signal processing, and graphics in an easy-to-use environment where problems and solutions are expressed just as they are written mathematically - without traditional programming. MATLAB is used extensively by engineers and scientists, including many chemometricians, because of its great combinatiion of flexibility and ease of use. We also offer instruction in SIMULINK, the MATLAB-based interactive tool for modeling, simulating, and analyzing dynamic systems that lets the user model dynamic systems graphically. |
