Language: Swedish
Price: 12000 SEK
Last day to register:
2009-01-20


Multivariat analys, grundkurs
De metoder vi behandlar på kursen grundar sig på att varje problem är multivariat. Det innebär att många variabler i samverkan påverkar ett visst resultat, t ex syntesutbyte, kromatografi sk separation, tillverkning av livsmedel, NIR-kalibrering eller produktegen skaper. Den intressanta informationen ligger nästan alltid i kombinationen av flera signaler och för att få ett maximalt informationsutbyte behövs multivariata projektionsmetoder.
Kursen består av föreläsningar och praktiska övningar med programvaran SIMCA-P+ utifrån Umetrics material. Du kommer även att ges möjlighet att diskutera egna frågeställningar och öva med egna data.
Du kommer att kunna tillämpa kunskaperna för att bl a:
| • |
Ta fram multivariata modeller med PCA (principalkomponentanalys) och PLS (partial least squares) |
| • |
Använda modellerna för att förstå hur ett system eller en process fungerar |
| • |
Använda modellerna för prediktion |
