Test spectrum

Specifications also appear in other pubHcations, including pubHcations of the Fragrance Materials Association (FMA) of the United States (53,57) (see also Fine chemicals). The FMA specifications include essential oils, natural flavor and fragrance materials, aromatic chemicals, isolates, general tests, spectra, suggested apparatus, and revisions adopted by the FMA.

For library searches, test spectra (TS) have to be available in digitalized form. The demands on the quality of reference spectra are high. They have to... 

In order to test PCR and later PLS, we remove a random selection of 10 test samples from the total data set the 10 test spectra are collected row-wise in the matrix Ys and the corresponding known qualities in a column vector qs,known. The remaining spectra are organised in the same way in the matrix Y of dimensions 70x700. For each one of the samples we also know the protein content we collect these qualities in the vector q with 70 entries. In the following, Y and q serve as the calibration set that is used later to predict the unknown qualities qs for the test set Ys. The predicted qs can then be compared with the known qualities qs,known. 

A set of neural networks has been trained to identify seven classes of petroleum hydrocarbon based fuels from their fluorescence emission spectra this technique correctly identified at least 90% of the test spectra (Andrews and Lieberman 1994). 

As an easily managed example of multivariate data analysis we shall consider the spectral data presented in Table 11. These data represent the recorded absorbance of 14 standard solutions containing known amounts of tryptophan, measured at seven wavelengths, in the UV region under noisy conditions and in the presence of other absorbing species. Two test spectra, X and XZ, are also included.

The blue trace shows the initial baseline spectrum corresponding to Fig. la where the first resonator is immobilized with streptavidin. The red trace shows the test spectra after the association of anti-streptavidin.

The test spectra may be selected from a suitable database of spectra of stock metal ion solutions. Here the spectra of Co ", Cu ", and Cr ", as their nitrates in 0.1 M nitric acid were employed (Table 3.13)... 

The adaptive wavelet algorithm is applied to three spectral data sets. The dimensionality of each data set is p = 512 variables. The data sets will be referred to as the seagrass, paraxylene and butanol data. The number of training and testing spectra in the group categories is listed in Table 1 for each set of data. 

The resolution and line shape test spectra in Figures 3a and obtained at 500 MHz demonstrate that a level of performance has become feasible that until recently was unachievable even at a considerably lower field. Obtainment of this degree of field uniformity is crucial, however, if the benefit of enhanced shift separation is to be fully exploited. 

In the simplest case, a discriminant analysis is performed in order to check the affiliation (yes/no decision) of an unknown to a particular class, e.g. in case of a pur-ity/quality check or a substance identification. A sample may equally well be assigned between various classes (e.g., quahty levels) if a corresponding series of mathematical models has been estabhshed. Models are based on a series of test spectra, which has to completely cover the variations of particular substances in particular chemical classes. From this series of test spectra, classes of similar objects are formed by means of so-called discriminant functions. The model is optimized with respect to the separation among the classes. The evaluation of the assignment of objects to the classes of an established model is performed by statistically backed distance and scattering measures. 

The group at KEK (Nagamine et al. 1995, Miyake et al. 1995, 1997) produces ultra-slow muons by first generating thermal muonium at the surface of a hot tungsten target placed in the pulsed primary proton beam. They then resonantly ionize the muonium by synchronously pulsed intense light from an UV laser. The resulting thermal p" are electrostatically collected and form the pulsed ultra-slow muon beam with about 50% of muon spin polarization preserved. The p spin is adjusted perpendicular to the beam axis. Test spectra have been obtained for a lOnm Au sample. Intensity is still very low. 

Some MS/MS spectra (e.g. some of the test spectra in Subsection 8.8.4) are dominated by one or a few peaks. In these cases, it could also be helpful to use the logarithm of the peak heights for weighting the contribution of the individual peaks to the match value to avoid overemphasizing the importance of one fragment peak. 

Where the single-sample bootstrap algorithm provides for the qualitative analysis of a single test sample, the modified bootstrap algorithm [14] provides a test that uses multiple test spectra to detect false samples (as subclusters) well within the three-standard deviation limit of a training set. The accurate detection of subclusters allows the determination of very small changes in component concentration or physical attributes.

More recent software performance studies have been published and are discussed in more detail below. The report on the NPL standard spectra by Woods et al. (1997) considered nine spectrum analysis programs. Another independent comparison of twelve software packages has been published by the IAEA as TECDOC-1011 (IAEA (1998)) using the 1995 IAEA test spectra (see below) and another report following the 2002 software intercomparison using the 2002 IAEA test spectra has been published (Arnold et al. (2005)).
