Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Chemometrics is a highly interdisciplinary field closely related to analytical chemistry. It forms part of the basis of chemistry, mainly from the point of view of chemical composition and chemical structure, as well as studies to measure the nature of chemical substances.

This Special Issue aims to explore in detail the application of chemometrics to analytical chemistry, with the aim of promoting the development of chemometrics. Chemometrics includes all the processes of chemical measurement. In the continuous development of chemistry, the main role of chemometrics is reflected in the analysis, design, and processing of chemical measurement data. In chemical research, it is necessary to involve chemometrics in chemical measurement. Since the introduction of new analytical methods based on chemical instruments to analytical chemistry in the 1950s, analysis and testing work has gradually realized instrumentation, automation, and preliminary computerization. The in-depth application of these technologies provides reliable measurement data for chemical analysis, and the advantages of these analytical instruments can be combined to carry out heavy data analysis in the context of information chaos. The development of new arrangements and combinations to solve the maximum information screening has become the biggest problem facing chemical researchers.

This Special Issue focuses on all aspects of the application of stoichiometry to analytical chemistry, including experimental design, instrumental data analysis and processing, and new applications of known methods in the context of novel techniques and algorithms.

Small data sets make developing calibration models using deep neural networks difficult because it is easy to overfit the system. We developed two deep neural network architectures by revising two existing network architectures: the U-Net and the attention mechanism. The major changes were to use 1D convolutional layers to replace the fully connected layers. We also designed and combined average pooling and maximum pooling in our revised networks, respectively. We applied these revised network architectures to three publicly available data sets and the resulting calibration models can generate acceptable results for general quantitative analysis. It also generated rather good results for data sets that concern calibration transfer. It demonstrates that constructing network architectures by properly revising existing successful network architectures may provide additional choices in the exploration of the application of deep neural network in analytical chemistry.

Abstract
The analysis of variance-projected difference resolution (ANOVA-PDR) was proposed and compared with multivariate classification for its potential in detecting possible food adulteration in extra virgin olive oils (EVOOs) by UV-Vis spectra. Three factors including origin, adulteration level, and adulteration type were systematically examined [...] Read more.
The analysis of variance-projected difference resolution (ANOVA-PDR) was proposed and compared with multivariate classification for its potential in detecting possible food adulteration in extra virgin olive oils (EVOOs) by UV-Vis spectra. Three factors including origin, adulteration level, and adulteration type were systematically examined by the ANOVA-derived methods. The ANOVA-PDR quantitatively presented the separation of the internal classes according to the three main factors. Specifically, the average ANOVA-derived PDRs of the EVOO origination and adulteration level, respectively, is 4.01 and 1.78, while the conventional PDRs of the three factors are all less than 1.5. Furthermore, the partial least-squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and the PLS regression (PLSR) modeling with the selected sub-datasets from different origins were used to verify the results. The resulting models suggested that the three main factors and their interactions were all important sources of spectral variations. Full article
