K-matrix analysis

Equations (2) and (3) outline the classical calibration and prediction approach and the combination is often referred to as K-matrix analysis. The K-matrix analysis approach requires quantitative calibration for all n components of the chemical system, even if they are of no interest for future predictions. Solution of equation... 

An alternative method, often referred to as the P-matrix analysis, avoids disadvantages present with K-matrix analysis by viewing concentration as a function of spectroscopic responses. Mathematically,... 

Two different measures of selectivity from the literature were chosen as optimization functions for K-matrix analysis. The first is an estimator of overall... 

Results listed for TA were achieved with a configuration generator changing up to 6 of the 8 wavelengths with a maximal distance of djyj = 40 and a maximum individual wavelength shift of 12 index units. No stepwidth modulations were performed. The threshold was updated after 25 nonimproving steps and the termination criterion was set to 40 successive nonaccepted steps. To accommodate the larger search space compared to the K-matrix analysis problem, the threshold was lowered by 3%, i.e., 6 = 0.97. 

The scattering K matrix analysis is carried out at a relatively small value of the scattering coordinate R. This is possible because the exact solutions of the uncoupled channel equations are used as a basis for solving the problem. 

The sensitivity of the analytical system in the case of multicomponent analysis with a square K matrix may be defined as the absolute value of the deterrninant of K. 

Recognizing the difficulty satisfying the requirements for successful CLS, you may wonder why anyone would ever use CLS. There are a number of applications where CLS is particularly appropriate. One of the best examples is the case where a library of quantitative spectra is available, and the application requires the analysis of one or more components that suffer little or no interference other than that caused by the components themselves. In such cases, we do not need to use equation [33] to calculate the pure component spectra if we already have them in a library. We can simply construct a K matrix containing the required library spectra and proceed directly to equation [34] to calculate the calibration matrix K., . 

Using GTO bases, it cannot be expected that the variational representations of the electron waves are snfficiently accnrate far ontside the so-called molecular region , i.e. the rather limited region of space where the potential clearly deviates from the asymptotic Conlomb form. Therefore the phaseshifts of the pwc basis states cannot be obtained from the analysis of their long-range behaviour, as was done in previous works with the STOCOS bases. In the present approach, this analysis may be avoided since the K-matrix techniqne allows to determine, by equation [3] below, the phase-shift difference between the eigenfunctions of Hp and the auxiliary basis functions... 

As discussed in (4), the K-matrix has a pole at energies near a resonance and this yields a convenient method for the analysis of the narrow autoionizing states. The matrix representation of equation [2] upon a finite basis may be in fact recast in the form (4)... 

The present method does not involve the analysis of the long-range behaviour of the states, so its application requires only that the narrow wavepackets are accurate inside the molecular region. By equation [3], the phaseshifts of these states may be determined through a K-matrix calculation on the auxiliary basis, so it is assumed that the narrow wavepackets might be continued outside the molecular region as shifted Coulomb waves.

Cross-relaxation rates and interproton distances in cyclo(Pro-Gly) from the full matrix analysis of NOESY spectrum recorded at Tm = 80 ms and T = 233 K. Cross-relaxation rates are obtained from the volumes shown in table 2 according to eq. (11) by Matlab (Mathworks Inc). Error limits were obtained from eq. (27) with Aa = 0.015 (table 2). 

Jacox and Milligan66 studied the reaction of methylene with acetylene by photolysis of dilute (50 1) suspensions of CH2N2 and HC = CH in an argon matrix at 4°K. Product analysis by infrared spectroscopy indicated allene as the major product. Cyclopropene and methylacetylene were not formed in detectable amounts.

The calibration step in the CLS approach then involves the determination of the elements of the K matrix using the spectral data for a series of cahbration standards. For an n-component analysis, this involves the solution of a matrix equation of the form given in equation (18) ... 

Data can also be transformed by adding transformed variables to the untransformed ones. An example would be adding squared values of the variables in an / x K matrix to make it an / x 2K matrix. For three-way data this has not been used often but could be as beneficial as for two-way analysis.

As regards the theoretical framework, the form of the resonance eigenfunction according to Eq. (1) constitutes a reference point. Eq. (1) is related to time-dependent analysis (Eq. (6) and subsequent discussion) or to Hermitian K-matrix computations that depend on real values of the energy (Sections 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 and Chapter 6) or to computations that depend on complex energies and non-Hermitian constructions (Sections 3-7, 11). As regards the computational framework, Eq. (1), is implemented in terms of wavefunctions of the form of Eqs. (32,35,37, and 48). 

A great advantage of the A -matrix approach is the fact that the elements of the K matrix represent genuine absorptivities with reference to the spectra of the individual constituents. Also, the general assumption in least squares regression analysis is valid, such that only the dependent variable, here the absorbance, is error prone.

The improvement in computer technology associated with spectroscopy has led to the expansion of quantitative infrared spectroscopy. The application of statistical methods to the analysis of experimental data is known as chemometrics [5-9]. A detailed description of this subject is beyond the scope of this present text, although several multivariate data analytical methods which are used for the analysis of FTIR spectroscopic data will be outlined here, without detailing the mathematics associated with these methods. The most conunonly used analytical methods in infrared spectroscopy are classical least-squares (CLS), inverse least-squares (ILS), partial least-squares (PLS), and principal component regression (PCR). CLS (also known as K-matrix methods) and PLS (also known as P-matrix methods) are least-squares methods involving matrix operations. These methods can be limited when very complex mixtures are investigated and factor analysis methods, such as PLS and PCR, can be more useful. The factor analysis methods use functions to model the variance in a data set.
