Fuzzy optimal associative memory

One interesting paper [164] discussed a technique called fuzzy optimal associative memory (FOAM), used for background prediction of NIR spectra. This software yields better background scans for calculation of NIR spectra of glucose in plasma matrices (from single-beam data). The FOAM software is usually used in conjunction with PLS and/or some other complex algorithm.
