1) Upcoming Short Courses
Eigenvector returns to Chelan, WA for Basic and Advanced Chemometrics
with PLS_Toolbox, June 1-5, 2003. The courses will be held at historic
Campbell's Resort on Lake Chelan. The two day, hands-on, Basic
Chemometrics course will start with pattern recognition and regression
methods (PCA, PCR, PLS). Example problems will illustrate use of the
methods with the new PLS_Toolbox 3.0. The three day Advanced Chemometrics
course will explore how multivariate image analysis, curve resolution,
and multi-way methods can be used for investigating and modeling chemical
systems, as well as for multivariate statistical process control. Special
attention will be paid to how the methods can be used together to solve
difficult problems. Here is your chance to update your chemometrics skills
AND visit beautiful Lake Chelan. Get complete course info.
A one-day, hands-on version of Chemometrics without Equations will be
offered prior to the 11th European Congress on Biotechnology, ECB-11. The
course will be held on August 24, 2003, in Basel, Switzerland.
Eigenvector returns to FACSS, this year in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, with
two “hands-on” courses for 2003. Chemometrics without Equations
(or Hardly Any) will be held on Oct. 18-19, and Intermediate Chemometrics will
be October 21-22. We’ve arranged for computers this year, so students
will be able to work problems and learn through doing. The courses are also
open to those not attending FACSS.
Need chemometrics training at your site? Eigenvector has a rapidly expanding
curriculum available. In addition to the courses listed above, we have
courses that focus specifically on process monitoring, inferential sensors
for use in process control, and SIMULINK. Visit our courses page or write
to Barry M. Wise for more information.

2) PLS_Toolbox 3.0.2 Update Now Available
PLS_Toolbox 3.0 was the most exciting update ever to the PLS_Toolbox!
Initial response from users has been uniformily positive, including
comments like “I love the new tools!”, and “You guys are
doing great things with PLS_Toolbox!” We continue to refine
and improve PLS_Toolbox with the latest update, 3.0.2. This minor
update adds a few new functions, demos and data sets, and fixes a
couple minor bugs. Registered PLS_Toolbox 3.0 users can download the update
using their assigned username and password.
Haven’t yet upgraded to PLS_Toolbox 3.0? Now’s the time! You can
now purchase or upgrade your PLS_Toolbox through our secure on-line
web store. PLS_Toolbox 2.1 users who purchased after Sept. 1, 2001,
get a free upgrade to Version 3.0. You will need your assigned username
and password to download it. Get more information, purchase or
upgrade to PLS_Toolbox 3.0 here.
A fully functional demo is also available at the URL above.
