Component reconstruction in the primary space of spectra and concentrations. Alternating regression and related direct methods

A set of methods that extract the spectral components in a chromatographic run is considered. The methods do not need libraries of previously known spectra or retention times. The methods have been developed for two-dimensional spectra but they can also be used for chromatographic analyses with a single-channel detector. The methods are direct; they do not use principal components as the starting point. Alternating regression (AR) remains in the primary space of spectra and concentrations during the calculations. Random numbers are used as the starting spectra. Regression is used to solve first for the concentrations, then for the spectra. The method uses two kinds of constraints: all spectra and concentrations are forced to be positive; and all concentration profiles are forced to a unimodal shape with a single local maximum. It is assumed that all observations are a linear sum of components. Compact alternating regression (CAR) is a new variant of the basic AR. The idea is to replace multiplication of a large matrix by two multiplications of smaller matrices. This typically speeds up the iterations by a factor of ten. AR and CAR have been successfully used with combined techniques such as gas chromatography—mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography with UV—visible detection. The reliability of the solution is checked by repeatedly injecting noise and performing the analysis several times. This produces estimates of confidence intervals. AR and CAR have recently been extended to handle single-dimensional signals. Examples are single-channel detectors such as the flame ionization detector in gas or liquid chromatography with a fixed-wavelength UV detector. A batch of samples is used as the observation matrix. As a result, one obtains both the concentrations and the elution shapes of individual chromatographic peaks.     

Coal analysis by diffuse reflectance near-infrared spectroscopy: Hierarchical cluster and linear discriminant analysis

An extensive study was carried out in coal samples coming from several origins trying to establish a relationship between nine coal properties (moisture (%), ash (%), volatile matter (%), fixed carbon (%), heating value (kcal/kg), carbon (%), hydrogen (%), nitrogen (%) and sulphur (%)) and the corresponding near-infrared spectral data. This research was developed by applying both quantitative (partial least squares regression, PLS) and qualitative multivariate analysis techniques (hierarchical cluster analysis, HCA; linear discriminant analysis, LDA), to determine a methodology able to estimate property values for a new coal sample. For that, it was necessary to define homogeneous clusters, whose calibration equations could be obtained with accuracy and precision levels comparable to those provided by commercial online analysers and, study the discrimination level between these groups of samples attending only to the instrumental variables. These two steps were performed in three different situations depending on the variables used for the pattern recognition: property values, spectral data (principal component analysis, PCA) or a combination of both. The results indicated that it was the last situation what offered the best results in both two steps previously described, with the added benefit of outlier detection and removal.     

A computer program for searching the best model for describing different experimental systems

An algorithm for searching the best polynomial analytical function for describing different experimental systems is presented. It is based

1. (1)on the generation of all possible analytical functions of a given order, with a given number of terms and with a given number of independent variables, and

2. (2)on the calculation of the parameters of all selected functions using the linear regression method.

To show the ability of the program two different examples are given:

1. (1) searching the best univariate polynomial model, and

2. (2) modelling of the stability of a two-component mixture as a function of three factors.

Combining synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy with multivariate methods for the analysis of petrol-kerosene mixtures

Synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy (SFS) is a rapid, sensitive and nondestructive method suitable for the analysis of multifluorophoric mixtures. The present study demonstrates the use of SFS and multivariate methods for the analysis of petroleum products which is a complex mixture of multiple fluorophores. Two multivariate techniques principal component regression (PCR) and partial least square regression (PLSR) have been successfully applied for the classification of petrol-kerosene mixtures. Calibration models were constructed using 35 samples and their validation was carried out with varying composition of petrol and kerosene in the calibration range. The results showed that the method could be used for the estimation of kerosene in kerosene-mixed petrol. The model was found to be sensitive, detecting even 1% contamination of kerosene in petrol.     

A method for calibration and validation subset partitioning

This paper proposes a new method to divide a pool of samples into calibration and validation subsets for multivariate modelling. The proposed method is of value for analytical applications involving complex matrices, in which the composition variability of real samples cannot be easily reproduced by optimized experimental designs. A stepwise procedure is employed to select samples according to their differences in both x (instrumental responses) and y (predicted parameter) spaces. The proposed technique is illustrated in a case study involving the prediction of three quality parameters (specific mass and distillation temperatures at which 10 and 90% of the sample has evaporated) of diesel by NIR spectrometry and PLS modelling. For comparison, PLS models are also constructed by full cross-validation, as well as by using the Kennard-Stone and random sampling methods for calibration and validation subset partitioning. The obtained models are compared in terms of prediction performance by employing an independent set of samples not used for calibration or validation. The results of F-tests at 95% confidence level reveal that the proposed technique may be an advantageous alternative to the other three strategies.     

Spectroelectrochemical and Voltammetric Studies of L‐DOPA

The electrooxidation of L -dopa at GC electrode was studied by in situ UV-vis spectroelectrochemistry (SEC) and cyclic voltammetry. The mechanism of electrooxidation and some reaction parameters were obtained. The results showed that the whole electrooxidation reaction of L -dopa at glassy carbon (GC) electrode was an irreversible electrochemical process followed by a chemical reaction in neutral solution (EC mechanism). The spectroelectrochemical data were treated by the double logarithm method together with nonlinear regression, from which the formal potential E⁰=228 mV, the apparent electron-transfer number of the electrooxidation reaction αn=0.376 (R=0.99, SD=0.26), the standard electrochemical rate constant k⁰=(3.93±0.12)×10⁻4 cm s⁻¹ (SD=1.02×10⁻²), and the formation equilibrium constant of the following chemical reaction k_c=(5.38±0.34)×10⁻¹ s⁻¹ (SD=1.02×10⁻²) were also obtained.     

Simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel by partial least squares and principal component regression multivariate calibration

Two spectrophotometric methods for the determination of Ethinylestradiol (ETE) and Levonorgestrel (LEV) by using the multivariate calibration technique of partial least square (PLS) and principal component regression (PCR) are presented. In this study the PLS and PCR are successfully applied to quantify both hormones using the information contained in the absorption spectra of appropriate solutions. In order to do this, a calibration set of standard samples composed of different mixtures of both compounds has been designed. The results found by application of the PLS and PCR methods to the simultaneous determination of mixtures, containing 4–11 μg ml⁻¹ of ETE and 2–23 μg ml⁻¹ of LEV, are reported. Five different oral contraceptives were analyzed and the results were very similar to that obtained by a reference liquid Chromatographic method.
