Reduction of repeatability error for analysis of variance-Simultaneous Component Analysis (REP-ASCA): application to NIR spectroscopy on coffee sample
A method to reduce repeatability error in multivariate data for Analysis of variance-Simultaneous Component Analysis (REP-ASCA) has been developed. This method proposes to adapt the acquisition protocol by adding a set containing repeated measures for describing repeatability error. Then, an orthogonal projection is performed in the row-space to reduce the repeatability error of the original dataset. Finally, ASCA is performed on the orthogonalized dataset. This method was evaluated on NIR spectral data of coffee beans.
