Method and apparatus for comparing spectra

The multiple linear least squares regression method of determining the concentration of an analyte from a spectrum of an unknown mixture containing the analyte is improved. It is known to combine spectra of individual components of the mixture to derive a model which is then applied to the unknown s...

Zusammenfassung:The multiple linear least squares regression method of determining the concentration of an analyte from a spectrum of an unknown mixture containing the analyte is improved. It is known to combine spectra of individual components of the mixture to derive a model which is then applied to the unknown spectrum. In accordance with this invention, first, and possibly higher, derivatives of the unknown spectrum are also generated and included in the derived model.
