| Abstract: | Differential Pulse Voltammetry has been used for the simultaneous determination of cysteine, tyrosine and trptophan on the unmodified glassy carbon electrode. In the analysis of these analytes in the same samples, the main difficulty is the high degree of overlapping of voltammograms. The relationships between the currents and the concentrations are complex and highly nonlinear. The predictive ability of principal component regression (PCR), partial least squares regression (PLS), genetic algorithm‐partial least squares regression (GA‐PLS) and principal component‐artificial neural networks (PC‐ANNs) were examined for simultaneous determination of three amino acids. For a regression model, everything that could not help in constructing the model may be considered as noise without further specification. PC‐ANN and GA‐PLS use significant data and show superiority over other applied multivariate methods. The proposed method was also applied satisfactorily to determination of analytes in some synthetic samples. |
