Chemometric tutorials and courses in the

Internet-a review

Main areas of rewiev

• Contents– which fields of chemometrics are

covered– how thorougly the areas are covered– practical examples

• Usability• Visual appearance

VICIM

• Virtual Institute of Chemometrics and Industrial Metrology– http://www.vicim.com/– Terminology, e-learning (require

registration)– Tutorials on chemometrics and qualimetrics

• PCR theory, comparative study on methods (PCR, MLR, PLS etc.) in .pdf – format

– Multivariate Calibration and General Chemometrics toolbox available

VICIM

• Available e-material quite limited in multivariate methods

• Wide selection of tutorials as links to articles

• Pdf-file of 74 page could be considered too long (especially for on-line usage)

VICIM appearance

The University of Akron

• http://ull.chemistry.uakron.edu/chemometrics/index.html

• Basic statistics, DoE, regression methods, non-linear univariate regression, multivariate methods (PCA, MLR, PCR, PLS)

• Classification (SIMCA, K-nearest neighbors)

• Neural networks

The University of Akron

• A lot of different tutorials based on the lecture presentations.

• Slideshows advance in a clear manner.

• Slideshows could have links to more spesific areas for skipping, e.g., unwanted examples.
