Fc. Sanchez et al., RESOLUTION OF MULTICOMPONENT OVERLAPPED PEAKS BY THE ORTHOGONAL PROJECTION APPROACH, EVOLVING FACTOR-ANALYSIS AND WINDOW FACTOR-ANALYSIS, Chemometrics and intelligent laboratory systems, 36(2), 1997, pp. 153-164
The orthogonal projection approach (OPA), a stepwise approach develope
d for the determination of the number of compounds present in a multic
omponent system, has been extended by including a step that allows the
chromatographic and spectroscopic pure compound profiles to be determ
ined. This is done using an alternating least-squares procedure. The i
nitial estimations are the spectra selected in the first step of OPA.
The performance of the OPA algorithm is compared with that of two wind
ow-based self-modelling curve resolution approaches: evolving factor a
nalysis (EFA) and window factor analysis (WFA).
