Can we estimate the chemical composition of a sample in a few seconds and without touching it? Identify its origin? Yes ! This is possible, by carrying out the acquisition of a spectrum of the sample and its processing with chemometric tools.

Chemoocs is intended to make you autonomous in chemometrics. But the content is dense! This is why the MOOC has been divided into two chapters.

This is Chapter 2. It covers supervised methods and validation of analytical methods. The teaser above gives more details on the content. If you are a beginner in chemometrics, we advise you to start with chapter 1, dealing with unsupervised methods, to follow the first courses and thus have better prerequisites for this chapter 2 of Chemoocs.

Chemoocs is oriented towards the most widespread near infrared spectrometry applications. However, chemometrics is open to other spectral domains: mid-infrared, ultraviolet, visible, fluorescence or Raman, as well as many other non-spectral applications. So why not in your field?

You will apply your knowledge by carrying out our application exercises using the ChemFlow software, free and accessible via a simple internet browser from a computer or smartphone. ChemFlow has been designed to be as user-friendly and intuitive as possible. Thus, it does not require any programming knowledge.

At the end of this mooc, you will have acquired the necessary know-how to process your own data.

Welcome to the fascinating world of chemometrics.
