Since the absorbance data acquired by means of a spectrophotometer are highly correlated, the problem of calibration of a spectrophotometric analyzer is, as a rule, numerically ill-conditioned, and advanced data-processing methods must be frequently applied to attain an acceptable level of measurement uncertainty. This paper contains a description of four algorithms for calibration of spectrophotometric analyzers, based on the singular value decomposition (SVD) of matrices, as well as the results of their comparison - in terms of measurement uncertainty and computational complexity - with a reference algorithm based on the estimator of ordinary least squares. The comparison is carried out using an extensive collection of semi-synthetic data representative of trinary mixtures of edible oils. The results of that comparison show the superiority of an algorithm of calibration based on the truncated SVD combined with a signal-to-noise ratio used as a criterion for the selection of regularisation parameters - with respect to other SVD-based algorithms of calibration.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Comparison of Five Svd-Based Algorithms for Calibration of Spectrophotometric Analyzers}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/90234/PDF/Journal10178-VolumeXXI%20Issue2_02.pdf}, doi={10.2478/mms-2014-0017}, keywords={spectrophotometry, chemometrics, singular value decomposition, regularisation, food analysis, edible oils analysis}, }
