Design of experiments

Background: Proper analysis of data and efficient planning of experiment is (or should be!) a part of every scientist’s toolbox. In this short course, an outline of different terms within Design of experiments and the theory behind when to use what are given. After a reminder on the basics of statistics and populations required for experimental planning (sampling, univariate linear regression, etc.) we will look at the setup and analysis of designed experiments and statistical inference from designed data (Designs, ANOVA, etc.). Furthermore we will discuss efficient planning and performance of fixed pattern and sequential optimizations techniques useful in e.g. yield optimization in production processes or instrumental optimization in analytical chemistry procedures.

 

Audience: The course is intended for people handling problems where using Design of experiments can be an advantage when setting up the experiments or people who have general interest in knowing how to setup and use experimental designs. Simple mathematical and statistical terms will be used in the course and the theory will be accompanied by computer exercises.

Chemometric workshop: come and get your data massaged

Background: This is a new one day course that goes into depth with chemometrics and the problems you face when using chemometrics in real-world applications.

 

Most of the time will be spend on looking at examples of data problems provided by the participants. Each participant will have to bring a specific example including data. They will present their data in one-three slides and present the questions/issues they have. This could be how to do variable selection; how to access if the model is reasonable; how to choose the number of components; how to figure out what approach to use etc, etc. After the presentation, the instructor will analyze the data and provide ideas on how to solve the problem.

 

As participant you will gain knowledge about chemometric tools such as variable selection, validation, classification etc. The list of subjects, though, is partly controlled by the participants and the problems you bring. Note that it is anticipated that a fair part of the data analysis will be performed in MATLAB because it offers the most possibilities.

 

There will be a limited number of theoretical presentations but most of the theory will be presented during the analysis of the real-world problems.

 

Audience: The course is (only) intended for participants that have significant experience with basic chemometric tools such as PLS and PCA. It is not assumed that the participant knows MATLAB. Each participant will have to send data will before the course in a format that can be imported in to MATLAB or Excel.
