If we consider the relative merits of the two forms of the optimal reconstructor, Eq. s 16 and 17, we note that both require a matrix inversion. Computationally, the size of the matrix inversion is important. Eq. 16 inverts an M x M (measurements) matrix and Eq. 17 a P x P (parameters) matrix. In a traditional least squares system there are fewer parameters estimated than there are measurements, ie M > P, indicating Eq. 16 should be used. In a Bayesian framework we are hying to reconstruct more modes than we have measurements, ie P > M, so Eq. 17 is more convenient. 

It should be noted that the above definition of Xj is different from the one often found in linear regression books. There X is defined for the simple or multiple linear regression model and it contains all the measurements. In our case, index i explicitly denotes the i"1 measurement and we do not group our measurements. Matrix X, represents the values of the independent variables from the i,h experiment. 

The development of on-line sensors is a very costly and time-consuming process. Therefore, if one has available a dynamic model of the reactor which predicts the various polymer (or latex) properties of interest, then this can be used to guide one in the selection and development of sensors. Ideas from the optimal statistical design of experiments together with the present model expressed in the form of a Kalman filter have been successfully used (58) to select those combinations of existing or hypothetical sensors which would maximize the information that could be obtained on the states of the polymerization system. Both the type of sensors and the precisions necessary for them are easily investigated in this way. By changing the choice of the measurement matrix and... 

Let us introduce a simple example to illustrate the previous concepts. The simplified process flowsheet presented in Fig. 1 (Madron, 1985) consists of four units interconnected by eight streams. We are interested in the estimation of the total flowrates of the system. If these variables are measured for streams 1, 7, and 8, then the measurement matrix C is of dimension (Z x g), where Z = 3 and g = 8. 

As in the static analysis, the processing of the information (provided by the addition of the new measurements) can be done systematically by means of a recursion formula. As a result, the computational effort is reduced considerably. The procedure is initialized with the determination of the error covariance for a single measurement, say C], where Ci is the first row vector of the measurement matrix C ... 

For the time being let us assume that we know all the individual concentrations of four mixtures of three chemical components forming matrix C. Let us also suppose that we know the molar absorptivities of all three components at six wavelengths, matrix A. From those two matrices one can construct a multivariate measurement, matrix Y. In this or a similar way, most "experimental" data matrices used in later chapters will be simulated. A simple Matlab example ...

Quiney and Carswell (1972) made measurements on artificial fogs and reported that S33/Sn and 5 34/5 1, showed more pronounced differences from one fog to another than did the more commonly measured matrix elements such as Sl2/Su. Hunt and Huffman (1975) suggested the possibility of using S3A/Sll at a single angle near 95° to monitor the mean size of nebulized water droplets. Because little use has been made of all matrix elements, however, a systematic study of their relative merits in determining size distributions has not been made. 

Figure 13.13 Measured matrix elements (left) for polystyrene spheres in water (mean radius 0.40 fim, wavelength 0.3250 fim). Measured matrix elements (right) for water droplets (mean radius 1.5 /xm, wavelength 0.6328 /xm). From Hunt and Huffman (1975).

Bell (1981) (see also Bell and Bickel, 1981) measured all matrix elements for fused quartz fibers of a few micrometers in diameter with a photoelastic polarization modulator similar to that of Hunt and Huffman (1973) the HeCd (441.6 nm) laser beam was normal to the fiber axes. Advantages of fibers as single-particle scattering samples are their orientation is readily fixed and they can easily be manipulated and stored. Two of the four elements for a 0.96-jtim-radius fiber are shown in Fig. 13.16 dots represent measurements and solid lines were calculated using an earlier version of the computer program in Appendix C. Bell was able to determine the fiber radius to within a few tenths of a percent by varying the radius in calculations, assuming a refractive index of 1.446 + iO.O, until an overall best fit to the measured matrix elements was obtained. 

Primary calibrators, indeed all calibrators, must be commutable that is, they must behave during measurement in an identical manner to the native analyte material being measured. Matrix reference materials made by mixing a pure reference material with the components of the matrix are unlikely to be entirely commutable, and for this reason some authorities (EURACHEM for one [EURACHEM and CITAC 2002]) advise against using matrix-matched CRMs for calibration, recommending instead their use to establish recoveries, after calibration by a pure reference standard.

As previously noted, in a typical process analytical application, the measured data set might consist of spectral data recorded at a number of wavelengths much higher than the number of samples. The rank, R, of the measured matrix of spectra will be equal to or smaller than the number of the samples N. This causes rank deficiency in X, and the direct calculation of a regression or calibration model by use of the matrix inverse using Equation 8.85 and Equation 8.86 is problematic.

In Figure 9 we present a Kruskal tree computed from euclidean distances for Cu(II)-P-diketone quelate compounds, on the plane of 3-6 principal components for the overlap-like similarity measure matrix. The quelate with acetylacetone as a ligand with constant value (-3.47) appears as a principal knot, acting as a bridge between more and less stable quelates. 

Figures 25 to 27 correspond to the set of ethereal odor molecules. As before, the elements of the set are divided into two classes. In figure 25 a Kruskal tree [2.c], computed from euclidean distances of the overlap similarity measure, is drawn. We can see that elements with low odor intensity are terminal branches of the tree. Figures 26 and 27 represent graphs computed using a nearest neighbor algorithm [2.e] from the overlap similarity measure matrix and a minimal order algorithm [2.e] obtained from the Coulomb similarity measure matrix, respectively. In both cases we can observe that elements in the same class have preference to link.

In figure 30 we have a projection on the plane of 2 and 9 principal components from an overlap similarity measure matrix, for musky odor molecules. The Point-Molecules of the Molecular Point Cloud are divided into three classes which appear at different zones in the plane. 

Figures 33 and 34 refer to pungent odor molecules. The first one represents a projection on the plane of (4,6) principal components for an overlap-like similarity measure matrix. Elements in the set are divided into three classes, depending on their intensity odor, they appear collected at different sections of the figure. In Figure 34 we show a minimal order graph [2.e] for a Coulomb-like similarity measure. Here, we can observe how the standard Point-Molecule, with a 7.10 odor intensity value, is linked to the next highest odor intensity...

Finally, Figures 35 to 37 show results for putrid odor molecules. In all cases the elements of the set are divided into three classes. Figure 35 is a projection on the plane of (7,8) principal components of a Coulomb-like similarity measure matrix, whereas Figures 36 and 37 are nearest neighbor graphs [2.e] computed hum euclidean distances for an overlap-like and a triple density similarity measures, respectively. In both cases we can observe that elements with 1.69 (hexamethylethane) and 2.60 (tertbutylcarbinol) odor intensities are strongly correlated. 

Some application software programs use methods known as MLR multiple linear regression) that permits the statistical treatment of a large number of data points in order to establish a calibration equation. These chemiometric methods take advantage of all the absorptions measured at different wavelengths, irrespective of their origin analyte to be measured, matrix or artefacts of the instrument. 

Rank deficiency is a phenomenon opposite to the above. In cases with rank deficiencies the pseudo-rank is less than the chemical rank. Rank deficiencies in a measurement matrix can arise due to linear relations in or restrictions on the data. Suppose that the underlying model of X is...
