Mathematical Sciences: Renewal of Development of CalibrationCurve Methods and an Investigation of Their Properties

本研究项目提出了高维多元校正曲线的新方法。它将解决在交互影响方面健壮的方法。此外，它还将推进校准标准中存在误差的校准方法。从化学和环境化学的方法将是重点。重要的政策和法律决定往往取决于准确的衡量标准。这些反过来又取决于仪器的良好校准。例如，对臭氧消耗程度或速率的了解取决于地面的多布森测量，由于校准不当，这些测量是可疑的。改进校准方法是本研究要考虑的几个问题之一。

This research project produces new methods for high dimensional multivariate calibration curves. It will address methods that are robust with respect to interaction effects. In addition, it will advance calibration methods with errors in the calibration standards. Methods from chemistry and environmental chemistry will be the focus. Important policy and legal decisions often depend upon accurate measurements. These in turn depend upon good calibration of the instruments. For example, the knowledge of the extent or rate of the ozone depletion depends upon ground- based Dobson measurements which are suspect due to poor calibration. The problem of improving calibration methods is one of several to be considered in this research.
