Abstract: | The initialization of concentration vector for iterative target transformation factor analysis (ITTFA) and identification of pure or key variables are the important issue in MCR. In this study, dissimilarity analysis and evolving factor analysis (EFA) are combined to find the selective or key variables and subsequently obtain initial estimates of the concentration vectors for resolution of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) data by ITTFA. For systems containing components with highly similar mass spectra, a new constraint setting the elements out of elution window to 0 is used to improve convergence rate and accuracy of results. Tested by standard mixture of two wax esters and real GC/MS data of gasoline 97#, dissimilarity based ITTFA could obtain accurate results (average Dot product of concentration vectors, average deviation of peak area ratio and average similarity of mass spectra are 0.9929, 0.0228 and 981.0, respectively). |
