Bootstrap methods have gained wide acceptance and huge popularity in the field of applied
statistics. The bootstrap is able to provide accurate answers in cases where other methods …

Although the near-infrared (NIR) was the first non-visible region discovered in the absorption
spectrum (by Herschel in 1800) 1–3 analytical chemists made little use of it until the 1950s …

Since the completion of the first edition of this book, major developments have occurred in
the pharmaceutical industry that have shaped the field of near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy …

INTRODUCTION Chemometrics is the discipline concerned with the ap-plication of statistical
and mathematical methods, as well as those methods based on mathematical logic, to …

Near-infrared (near-IR) spectroscopy was used to qualitatively assess the homogeneity of a
typical direct compression pharmaceutical powder blend consisting of hydrochlorothiazide …

The successful implementation of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in process control of
powder blending requires constructing an inclusive spectral database that reflects the …

BACKGROUND The present invention relates to noninvasive and nonde-structive methods
