COURSE DESCRIPTION<\/span>
\n<\/b>Linear methods, such as PLS regression, work in a wide range of problems of chemical interest, but there are times when the relationships between variables are complex and require non-linear modeling methods. This course focuses on a number of methods that have shown great utility in modeling chemical systems. The course starts with a discussion on linearizing transforms. It is then shown how Locally Weighted Regression (LWR) and Hierarchical Models (HM) can handle non-linearity by using linear sub-models. More difficult non-linear relationships can be handled using Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), Support Vector Machines (SVMs), and Gradient-boosed Ensemble methods (XGBoost) for both regression and classification analysis. These methods are explained in detail and the meta-parameters associated with them discussed. The course includes hands-on computer time<\/p>\n

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
\n<\/span><\/b>This one-day course\u00a0is aimed at engineers, chemists and other scientists who want to be able to analyze their own laboratory or process data and develop their own data models. The course is especially well suited for those with an interest in process analytical technology (PAT) in the pharmaceutical and chemical process industries. This course serves individuals with a need to develop predictive models such as analytical instrument calibrations, sample classification and soft sensor models. No prior knowledge is needed for this course, although some knowledge of basic chemometric methods (PCA, PLS, etc.) is useful.<\/p>\n
