A general variance model in methods comparison

Published: Sep 17, 2013

Author(s): Douglas M. Hawkins

Journal: Journal of Chemometrics

Valid statistical tests of paired data require correct models of how measurement variance depends on analyte concentration. One often‐used assumption is that the variance is constant across the range; another is that the coefficient of variation is constant. But in many data sets, neither of these holds. A variance model containing both a constant variance and a constant coefficient of variation term is recommended as an often‐useful...

Linear quantification calibration of crystallinity based on a simple univariate analysis of binary chemical images by selecting a threshold to define the sampling depth in Raman mapping

Published: Sep 17, 2013

Author(s): Jianping Wu

Journal: Journal of Raman Spectroscopy

ABSTRACT It is common belief that in Raman mapping, the sampling depth from which Raman signal is collected originates from a probe laser spot size of approximately 1–5 µm3. Actually, the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) crystals detected by mapping on the sample surface distribute from surface to over a few tens to hundreds of microns into the sample, as determined by z‐slices mapping in this context. It was also found that the score of...
