Application of Doolittle Algorithm as a Multivariate Calibration Method for Infrared Spectrometric Determination of Some Ingredients in Detergent Washing Powder
Abstract
Abstract The basic principle of Doolittle Multivariate Calibration Algorithm (DMCA) was investigated, and used for simultaneous quantitative determination of STPP, SS and SC in commercial washing powders with serious overlapping. The root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) for DMCA is 0.084 which confnms the improvement in accuracy, in comparison with K-Matrix (RMSEP = 0.118). It was demonstrated that DDA can avoid matrix inverting, reduce the orders of matrices and needs...
