relationship between the spectra and the reported composition that results from the calibration process. Because of the time and expense involved in the development of calibrations that are applicable with confidence in the day-today world of the industry, together with the fact that such work is often proprietary, this type of application does not lend itself to publication in scientific journals. These calibrations call for extensive and expensive research, and the book focuses on the procedures involved in setting up such comprehensive calibration models. Because of the proficiency of modern NIR instruments, the reproducibility and reliability of the future NIRS results will often be superior to those of the reference laboratory.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
