- Just before Christmas I posted the following message:
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- I am assisting a colleague in the supervision of a senior student
- project.
-
- A local dairy company uses Dickey-john Near Infra Red analyzers to
- estimate %fat, %moisture, %protein, etc in dairy products. The
- analyzer uses a multiple regression equation with predictors being
- the logs of reflectance values at several frequencies. From time to
- time the analyzers are calibrated against standard chemical methods.
-
- In between calibrations minor adjustments are made on the basis of
- the results for a few items. The student's task is to review the
- procedure being used for these adjustments, and for the calibrations
- themselves.
-
- We would be interested in any advice, or pointers to appropriate
- literature, that someone who has worked in this area previously
- might be able to give.
- -------------------------------------------------------
-
- I didn't expect much of a response in view of the time, but I was anxious
- to get started on the hunt for references. I was pleasantly surprised by the
- useful responses that I received.

-
- Two books which I strongly can recommend to you are:
- Near Infrared Technology in the Agricultural and Food Industries
- by P.Williams and Karl Norris. Published by: American Ass of
- Cereal Chemists Inc.1987
-
- The more sophisticated way of calibrating NIR's nowadays is
- by PCR or PLS-1. The book I can recommend is:
- Multivariate calibration by Harald Martens en Tormod Ns
- Published by John Wiley & Sons, 1989 (ISBN 0 471 90979 3).

- Try the following book:
-
- Martens, H. and Naes, T. (1989). Multivariate Calibration.
- John Wiley and Sons:Chichester.
-
- Martens and Naes discuss calibration of NIR instruments using
- full spectrum methods like principal component regression (PCR)
- and partial least squares (PLS). They claim that full spectrum
- methods yield better predictions than methods based on selecting
- particular wavelengths. Nice discussion of outlier detection, etc.

- Having just run into a horrific instance of ignorance about basic
- quality control notions, I'd like to encourage your student to read
- Deming--any of his stuff, really, but in particular he discusses the
- reasons not to re-adjust based on individual or too-frequent values.
- It's in each of his books--he's a fairly repetitive writer--"Out of
- the Crisis" is most recent.
-
-
- I have had a bit of a read of the 1982 JRSSB paper of P.J. Brown and it is
- quite interesting to see that inverse regression for each of the
- compositional variable separately has its defenders, which is just as well
- because this seems to be the standard industrial practice. There is an
- extensive discussion at the end of this paper which is helpful in
- generating further references. D.R. Cox, in his contribution raises a point
- which is very relevant to our present project: 'A crucial aspect in
- applications is often the stability of the calibration curve in time: how
- often is recalibration needed, and how can checks of stability be
- incorporated into the routine use of the procedure?' In his response to this
- question, Brown cites what looks like a very relevant paper -
- Daniel, C. (1975) 'Calibration designs for machines with carry over and
- drift' J. Qual. Tech, 7, 103-108.
-
- I also checked Christine Osborne's useful survey paper in International
- Statistical Review, v59, n3, 309-336 (1991). This has lead me on to further
- references including
-
- Brown & Sundberg (1987) JRSSB 49, 46-57.
- T. Fearn(1983) Misuses of ridge regression in the calibration of a near
- infrared instrument. Applied Statistics, 32, 73-79.
- T. Naes (1986) Multivariate calibration using covariance adjustment.
- Biometrical J. 28, 99-107
- T. Naes, C. Irgens, and H. Martens(1986) Comparison of linear statistical
- methods for calibration of NIR instruments. Applied Statistics 35, 195-206.
-
- Clearly there is a lot of work to be done tracking down and digesting all
- this literature, nevertheless we would still be grateful for further sources
- and comments on any of the references mentioned.
