“…Although the mathematical models play such an important role in chromatography, most real chromatographic peaks cannot be described very well by existing peak-shaped functions. These functions include, for example, the bi-Gaussian model, Edgeworth−Cramer series, , Chesler−Cram, exponentially modified Gaussian (EMG), Giddings, Haarhoff−Van der Linde, Poisson functions, etc. − This situation is due to the fact that the shapes of real chromatographic peaks change considerably, and each available peak-shaped function can fit a limited number of real peaks.…”
