A new joint venture between Galactic Industries and Nicolet has further added to the list of innovation in reference spectroscopic data delivery. The internet service running under http://ftiresearch.com was launched on 17 April 2000. With this new service coming on-line, the spectroscopist must now regard the year 2000 as one of the best for the introduction of new strategies and options for reference database access and service ever!
At the end of the last column we promised that this time we would show how matrix algebra can be used for real computational tasks. The chosen task is Fourier transformation (FT) of a near infrared (NIR) spectrum. Those who know Tony Davies will not be surprised at this choice of subject but in the third lesson the reason for wanting to do the obvious will become apparent.
Tony Davies tackles a crucial concept in chemometrics: the way in which data was collected may not be the best form for analysing it.
