The Theory and Operation of Spectral Analysis: Using ROBFIT / Edition 1

by R.L. Coldwell, G.J. Bamford

Overview

This book will be of assistance to anyone attempting to extract the maximum information, from any set of data, using curve fitting methods. In addition, the book shows how advanced fitting techniques such as robust fitting with splines and non-linear regression are applied to practical problems. The book also includes derivation of the statistical errors that are present in this type of analysis. It is written in a manner so that the impatient reader can rapidly get into fitting spectra.

Editorial Reviews

Details on the use of the spectral fitting program ROBFIT with the physical and mathematical foundations of its algorithms, and application of the code to actual spectra. Appendices give the ROBFIT code (132 p.), a user's guide, and NLFIT code. The authors offer the ROBFIT code on floppy at no charge--though it is not presented with the book. Annotation c.
