Practical Three-Way Calibration

Practical Three-Way Calibration is an introductory-level guide to the complex field of analytical calibration with three-way instrumental data. With minimal use of mathematical/statistical expressions, it walks the reader through the analytical methodologies with helpful images and step-by-step explanations. Unlike other books on the subject, there is no need for prior programming experience and no need to learn programming languages. Easy-to-use graphical interfaces and intuitive descriptions of mathematical and statistical concepts make three-way calibration methodologies accessible to analytical chemists and scientists in a wide range of disciplines in industry and academia.

Numerous detailed examples of slowly increasing complexityExposure to several different data sets and techniques through figures and diagramsComputer program screenshots for easy learning without prior knowledge of programming languagesMinimal use of mathematical/statistical expressions
