Statistics and chemometrics

The challenges typically faced by our customers include:

• Making data-based decisions that are statistically sound and defensible, and economically efficient. Will my advertising claim withstand external scrutiny?
• Obtaining a useful understanding of large volumes of data stored in multiple locations in different formats. Can I reliably automate a laborious data processing task?
• Using advanced spectroscopic and analytical methods to infer sample properties. How can chemometrics help me understand processes and products?
• Recognising when a key indicator, such as a commodity price, a process setting or a safety performance level, is changing unusually and knowing what mitigating action to take. Can I forecast future values with confidence?
• Identifying the drivers of business performance. Should I adjust my operating or investment strategy, given the uncertain or changing economic environment?
• Incorporating expert opinion alongside data for structured decision making. How do I capture and use my knowledge base to improve decision making?
• Increasing the value of measurement campaigns. How do I get the most from experimentation or market research?
