An algorithm of single component prediction based on backward error pr
opagation is proposed, in,which only one component concentration in a
multivariate system is predicted each time. The algorithm was compared
with a multiple component prediction model. In general, the predictiv
e accuracy of the single component prediction algorithm was superior t
o that of the multiple component prediction model. The effects of over
fitting, standard samples and model parameters on the predictive accur
acy were also examined. (C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
