Content
This course intents to complement the competencies of students for the treatment (pre-processing and statistical data analysis) of chemical data through the application of multivariate methods. It will be based on real case studies from industry and research to illustrate the importance of using such tools for the pre-processing, the exploration, the visualisation, and the modelling of data from analytical chemistry. The course will explain and apply the main pre-processing steps, as well as the most common exploratory, regression and discrimination methods (PCA, clustering, PCR, PLS, LDA, …).
Teaching methods

Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the information in this section is particularly likely to change.

This course is a lecture course of 30h involving applied exercises during the lecture time. It currently is planned to be a classroom course.
The entirety of this course will be dispensed in a computer room, insisting on (1) theoretical aspects that are necessary to understand the presented methods and (2) application exercises based on concrete case studies. The practical sessions will use the R software, based on RMarkdown documents. 
Evaluation methods

Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the information in this section is particularly likely to change.

The evaluation will be partly assessed based on the ongoing work of the students and partly on a final exam.
Other information
The slides of the course will be made available on Moodle.
Online resources
Every student must be registered on the Moodle course LCHM1320. The communications between the professor and the students will be made mostly via this channel.
