A comprehensive and practical guide to the application of chemometric methods in laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) analysis, Chemometrics and Numerical Methods in LIBS offers a thorough exploration of advanced techniques for solving qualitative and quantitative problems. Authored by esteemed international experts, the book is divided into three sections: LIBS information simplification, LIBS classification, and quantitative analysis by LIBS. Each section includes a description of relevant techniques and practical examples, making it accessible to readers at all levels of knowledge.

The first section focuses on simplifying LIBS information through techniques such as principal component analysis, independent component analysis, and parallel factor analysis. This section provides valuable insights into data reduction and visualization, enabling researchers to extract meaningful insights from complex LIBS datasets.

The second section delves into classification by LIBS, covering various methods such as spectral angle mapping, linear discriminant analysis, graph clustering, self-organizing maps, and artificial neural networks. These methods enable the accurate identification and classification of different materials and substances based on their spectral signatures.

The third section explores linear methods for quantitative analysis by LIBS, including calibration curves, partial least squares regression, and limit of detection. These methods provide powerful tools for quantifying the concentration of elements and compounds in LIBS samples, enabling researchers to make precise measurements and interpretations.

In addition to these core sections, Chemometrics and Numerical Methods in LIBS also includes in-depth examinations of multivariate analysis and non-linear methods. These methods offer valuable insights into complex data analysis and enable researchers to handle data with high degrees of uncertainty and complexity.

Contributors to this edited volume are the most recognized international experts on the chemometric techniques relevant to LIBS analysis. Their expertise and contributions ensure that the book provides up-to-date and authoritative information on the latest developments in the field.

Whether you are a novice or an experienced LIBS researcher, Chemometrics and Numerical Methods in LIBS is an essential resource for advancing your knowledge and expertise in the field. With its comprehensive coverage, practical examples, and expert insights, this book will help you solve complex problems and make meaningful discoveries in LIBS analysis.
