MATLAB for Chemometricians

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). Students will also learn to write basic scripts and functions, thus opening the door to programming custom routines for data analysis.

Prerequisites

Linear Algebra for Chemometricians or equivalent experience.
