✦ Synopsis


In this paper, we present wavelet coefficient regression WCR in combination with a genetic algorithm GA as a method for multicomponent analysis by Near Infrared Spectrometry. The results are compared with other multivariate calibration Ž . Ž . methods like Fourier coefficient regression FCR , principal component regression PCR and absorbance value regression at Ž . selected wavelengths AVR . It is shown that in comparison to conventional methods, WCR is quite unique by the fact that it is self-adaptive. This means that the steps of pretreatment, selection of specific wavelength regions and calibration are performed automatically in one step.
