The resultant multivariate ca

Outliers include highleverage samples (samples whose spectra contribute a statisti-cally significant fraction of one or more of the spectralvariables used in the model), and samples whose referencevalues are inconsistent with the model.4.4 Validation of the calibra

Signif
36、icance and Use5.1 These practices can be used to establish the validity ofthe results obtained by an infrared (IR) spectrometer at the timethe calibration is developed. The ongoing validation of esti-mates produced by analysis of unknown samples using theE1655 05 (2012)2calibration model should be c
37、overed separately (see for ex-ample, Practice D6122).5.2 These practices are intended for all users of infraredspectroscopy. Near-infrared spectroscopy is widely used forquantitative analysis. Many of the general principles describedin these practices relate to the common modern practices ofnear-inf
38、rared spectroscopic analysis. While sampling methodsand instrumentation may differ, the general calibration meth-odologies are equally applicable to mid-infrared spectroscopy.New techniques are under study that may enhance thosediscussed within these practices. Users will find these practicesto be a
39、pplicable to basic aspects of the technique, to includesample selection and preparation, instrument operation, anddata interpretation.5.3 The calibration procedures define the range over whichmeasurements are valid and demonstrate whether or not thesensitivity and linearity of the analysis outputs a
40、re adequate forproviding meaningful estimates of the specific physical orchemical characteristics of the types of materials for which thecalibration is developed.6. Overview of Multivariate Calibration6.1 The practice of infrared multivariate quantitative analy-sis involves the following steps:6.1.1
41、 Selecting the Calibration SetThis set is also termedthe training set or spectral library set. This set is to represent allof the chemical and physical variation normally encounteredfor routine analysis for the desired application. Selection of thecalibration set is discussed in Section 17, after th
42、e statisticalterms necessary to define the selection criteria have beendefined.6.1.2 Determination of Concentrations or Properties, orBoth, for Calibration SamplesThe chemical or physicalproperties, or both, of samples in the calibration set must beaccurately and precisely measured by the reference
43、method inorder to accurately calibrate the infrared model for predictionof the unknown samples. Reference measurements are dis-cussed in Section 9.6.1.3 The Collection of Infrared SpectraThe collection ofoptical data must be performed with care so as to presentcalibration samples, validation samples
44、, and prediction (un-known) samples for analysis in an alike manner. Variation insample presentation technique among calibration, validation,and prediction samples will introduce variation and error whichhas not been modeled within the calibration. Infrared instru-mentation is discussed in Section 7
45、 and infrared spectralmeasurements in Section 8.6.1.4 Calculating the Mathematical ModelThe calcula-tion of mathematical (calibration) models may involve avariety of data treatments and calibration algorithms. The morecommon linear techniques are discussed in Section 12.Avariety of statistical techn
46、iques are used to evaluate andoptimize the model. These techniques are described in Section15. Statistics used to detect outliers in the calibration set arecovered in Section 16.6.1.5 Validation of the Calibration ModelValidation ofthe efficacy of a specific calibration model (equation) requiresthat
47、 the model be applied for the analysis of a separate set oftest (validation) samples, and that the values predicted for thesetest samples be statistically compared to values obtained by thereference method. The statistical tests to be applied forvalidation of the model are discussed in Section 18.6.
48、1.6 Application of the Model for the Analysis ofUnknownsThe mathematical model is applied to the spectraof unknown samples to estimate component concentrations orproperty values, or both, (see Section 13). Outlier statistics areused to detect when the analysis involves extrapolation of themodel (see
49、 Section 16).6.1.7 Routine Analysis and MonitoringOnce the efficacyof one or more calibration equations is established, the equa-tions must be monitored for continued accuracy and precision.Simultaneously, the instrument performance must be moni-tored so as to trace any deterioration in performance to eitherthe calibration model itself or to a failure in the instrumentationperformance. Procedures for verifying the performance of theanalysis are only outlined in Section 22. For petrochemicals,these procedures are covered in detail in Practice D6122. Theuse of
