NFOK21000U Advanced Chemometrics and Machine Learning
MSc Programme in Biotechnology
MSc Programme in Environmental Science
MSc Programme in Food Science and Technology
Basic chemometric methods like PCA and PLS are useful tools in
data analysis but in many data analytical problems more advanced
machine learning methods are necessary to solve the problems.
The methods studied in this course will be selected from these main
topics: Data preprocessing methods, variable selection methods,
clustering and classification techniques, non-linear regression and
multi-way methods.
Computer exercises on real data using commercial software are an
integrated part of the course.
The course introduces advanced chemometric methods and their use
on different kinds of multivariate data of relevance for research
and development.
After completing the course the student should be able to:
Knowledge
- Summarize basic chemometric methods
- Describe advanced chemometric methods for multivariate (clustering, classification and regression) data analysis
- Describe advanced techniques for data pre-preprocessing
- Describe advanced methods for variable selection.
Skills
- Apply theory on real life data analytical cases
- Apply commercial software for data analysis
- Report in writing a full data analysis of a given problem including all aspects presented under Knowledge.
Competences
- Discuss advantages and drawbacks of advanced methods.
