NEW - Process Analytics using multivariate methods - May 20 to May 23 2024

Description of the course:

The participants will be introduced to modern day multivariate data analytics methods through lectures and hands-on workshops. The syllabus is geared towards general concepts on Multivariate Data Analysis (MVDA) using methods like PCA and PLS. The agenda includes theory and applications on a variety of  scenarios (e.g. continuous and batch processes, chemometrics). MVDA is a data-driven modeling technique particularly useful to understand systems where acquired data is: abundant, complex, correlated and noisy. Basic knowledge of statistics, linear algebra and geometry are helpful to fully understand the concepts of this course.

The course includes various hands-on workshops using data from real applications, using Python tools.
