Description
Book SynopsisStatistical techniques have assumed an integral role in both the interpretation and quality assessment of analytical results. This book describes the range of statistical methods for such tasks, with the advantages and disadvantages of each technique clarified by use of examples.
Trade Review"What makes this book stand out is its introductory and fundamental character and its good working up from a didactic point of view with easily understandable examples from the fields of analytical chemistry. This enables the reader to understand the selected statistical and mathematical methods introduced."
"This book can be recommended to students and scientists who are interested in a brief introduction to selected statistical and mathematical methods for treatment of analytical data. It gives a good overview of the mathematical fundamentals of the methods presented. Simple examples from the practice of analytical chemistry substantiate the reader's understanding of what happens if chemometric methods are applied." Anal Bioanal Chem 2006
