Course

"Chemometrics without Equations - Part 1 and 2"
Eastern Analytical Symposium,
Somerset NJ, USA
November 15-16, 2015
8:30 am - 5 pm

Target Audience: CWE is aimed at researchers and conservators who
want to be able to analyze their own laboratory data, and with a
need for exploratory data analysis, development of predictive models
and sample classification, but are discouraged by the high level of
mathematics found in many software manuals and texts.  No prior
knowledge is required for the CWE 1 course.  CWE 1 or some
experience with chemometrics is recommended for CWE 2.  Participants
can register for the combined course at a substantial savings.

Course Description: CWE 1 will cover the fundamentals of many
commonly used Chemometric methods including Exploratory Data
Analysis, Pattern Recognition, Regression and Classification Methods
(PCA, PLS, SIMCA,PLS-DA).  CWE 2 will cover Multivariate Mixture
Analysis and Multivariate Image Analysis of hyperspectral images.
Several examples are chosen from the Cultural Heritage area.

About the Instructors:

    Dr.  Donald Dahlberg is Professor Emeritus of Chemistry at
    Lebanon Valley College.  Dahlberg earned a B.S. in Chemistry
    from the University of Washington and a Ph.D. in Physical
    Chemistry from Cornell University.  After decades of doing
    research in the area of Physical Organic Chemistry, he got
    involved in Chemometrics while on sabbatical in 1988 at the
    Center for Process Analytical Chemistry at the University of
    Washington.  There he learned chemometrics in the Bruce Kowalski
    group (co-founder of chemometrics).  Upon returning to LVC, he
    taught chemometrics to undergraduate students for over a decade.
    Although retired from the classroom, he continues do
    collaborative research in chemometrics applied to forensics and
    cultural heritage data.  He wrote and teaches this workshop so
    that those not fluent in matrix algebra can take advantage of
    the powerful tool of chemometrics.

    Dr. Neal B. Gallagher, PLS_Toolbox co-author and co-founder of
    Eigenvector Research, Inc., holds a doctorate in Chemical
    Engineering and has experience in a wide variety of applications
    spanning chemical process monitoring, hyperspectral image
    analysis, anomaly detection, quantification and classification,
    regression modeling and analytical instrumental development.  He
    has extensive teaching experience including Eigenvector
    University and dozens of chemometric courses.
