Multivariate Data Analysis For Root Cause Analyses And Time Of Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry

Danica Heller-Krippendorf develops concepts and approaches optimizing the applicability of MVA on data sets from an industrial context. They enable more time-efficient MVA of the respective ToF‐SIMS data. Priority is given to two main aspects by the author: First, the focus is on strategies for a more time-efficient collection of the input data. This includes the optimal selection of the number of replicate measurements, the selection of input data and guidelines for the selection appropriate data preprocessing methods. Second, strategies for more efficient analysis of MVA results are presented. ​About the Author: Danica Heller-Krippendorf did her research and dissertation at the University of Siegen, Germany, in collaboration with a German analytical service company. Now she is engineer in analytics at a DAX company.
