PROBLEMS OF CALIBRATION IN TRACE, INSITU-MICRO AND SURFACE-ANALYSIS

A systematic survey will be given on different strategies of calibration in dependence on given analytical and statistical conditions, particularly on several procedures of least squares regression (ordinary, orthogonal, unweighted and weighted LSR), of robust regression, addition methods and multicomponent calibration. In this connection calibration by means of latent variables (principal component regression PCR, partial least squares PLS) will be dealt with. The special conditions in the case of microanalysis and surface analysis will be considered under practical analytical as well as chemometrical aspects. Problems of homogeneity, representativness of samples and sample regions will be treated. © 1990 Springer-Verlag.
