Process Analytical Technology explores the concepts of PAT and its application in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry from the point of view of the analytical chemist. In this new edition all of the original chapters have been updated and revised, and new chapters covering the important topics of sampling, NMR, fluorescence, and acoustic chemometrics have been added. Coverage includes: Implementation of Process Analytical Technologies UV-Visible Spectroscopy for On-line Analysis Infrared Spectroscopy for Process Analytical Applications Process Raman Spectroscopy Process NMR Spectrscopy: Technology and On-line Applications Fluorescent Sensing and Process Analytical Applications Chemometrics in Process Analytical Technology (PAT) On-Line PAT Applications of Spectroscopy in the Pharmaceutical Industry Future Trends for PAT for Increased Process Understanding and Growing Applications in Biomanufacturing NIR Chemical Imaging This volume is an important starting point for anyone wanting to implement PAT and is intended not only to assist a newcomer to the field but also to provide up-to-date information for those who practice process analytical chemistry and PAT. It is relevant for chemists, chemical and process engineers, and analytical chemists working on process development, scale-up and production in the pharmaceutical, fine and specialty chemicals industries, as well as for academic chemistry, chemical engineering, chemometrics and pharmaceutical science research groups focussing on PAT. Review from the First Edition “The book provides an excellent first port of call for anyone seeking material and discussions to understand the area better. It deserves to be found in every library that serves those who are active in the field of Process Analytical Technology.”—Current Engineering Practice

Chemometrics is the chemical discipline that uses mathematical, statistical and other methods employing formal logic: to design or select optimal measurement procedures and experiments, and -- to provide maximum relevant chemical information by analysing chemical data. Being conceived as a branch of analytical chemistry, chemometrics now is a general approach. It extracts relevant information out of measured data, regardless of their origin: chemical, physical, biological, etc. Chemometrics has been applied in different areas, and most successfully in multivariate calibration, pattern recognition, classification and discriminant analysis, multivariate modelling, and monitoring of processes. The main chemometric principle is a concept of hidden data structures that can be found using methods of multivariate data analysis. These are the well-known statistic tools such as partial least squares (PLS), soft independent modelling of class analogy (SIMCA), principal-component regression (PCR), wavelet analysis, and many others. Current activities of chemometricians fall into two main categories: (1) development of new methods for manipulating multivariate data and (2) new applications of the known chemometric techniques in different areas such as environment control, food industry, agriculture, medicine, and engineering.

The analysis of means (ANOM) is a graphical procedure used to quantify differences among treatment groups in a variety of experimental design and observational study situations. The ANOM decision chart allows one to easily draw conclusions and interpret results with respect to both statistical and practical significance. It is an excellent choice for multiple comparisons of means, rates, or proportions and can be used with both balanced and unbalanced data. Key advances in ANOM procedures that have appeared only in technical journals during the last 20 years are included in this first comprehensive modern treatment of the ANOM containing all of the needed information for practitioners to understand and apply ANOM. The Analysis of Means: A Graphical Method for Comparing Means, Rates, and Proportions contains examples from a wide variety of fields adapted from real-world applications and data with easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions. It is front loaded, so potential ANOM users can find solutions to standard problems in the first five chapters. An appendix contains several SAS® examples showing the system's ANOM capabilities and how SAS was used to produce selected ANOM decision charts in the book.Given these features, the lack of any other book on ANOM, and the recent inclusion of ANOM in SAS, this book will be a welcome addition to practitioners' and statisticians' bookshelves, where it will serve both as a primer and reference.Applied statisticians, particularly consulting statisticians, will find that the graphical aspect of ANOM makes it easy to convey results to nonstatisticians. Industrial, process, and quality engineers will find that the ANOM decisions charts offer an ideal interface with management and can be instrumental in selling research conclusions. The ANOM procedures are great for comparing the rates and proportions found in managed health care settings, and for comparing outcomes in multiarm studies done by statistical researchers in medicine.

This book provides a protocol for conducting gauge repeatability and reproducibility (R&R) experiments. Such an experiment is required whenever a new test system is developed to monitor a manufacturing process. The protocol presented here is used to determine if the testing system is capable of monitoring the manufacturing process with the desired level of accuracy and precision. This protocol is not currently available in other books or technical reports. In addition to providing a protocol for testing a measurement system, the book presents an up-to-date summary of methods used to construct confidence intervals in normal-based random and mixed analysis of variance (ANOVA) models. Thus, this comprehensive book will be useful to scientists in all fields of application who wish to construct interval estimates for ANOVA model parameters. It includes approaches that can be applied to any ANOVA model, and because it contains detailed examples of all computations, practitioners will be able to easily apply the methods. The book describes methods for constructing two types of confidence intervals: modified large-sample (MLS) and generalized confidence intervals. Computer codes written in SAS and Excel are provided to perform the computations. Appendices are included for readers who are unfamiliar with confidence intervals or lack a basic understanding of random and mixed ANOVA models.

Survival data consist of a single event for each population unit, namely, end of life, which is modeled with a life distribution. However, many applications involve repeated-events data, where a unit may accumulate numerous events over time. This applied book provides practitioners with basic nonparametric methods for such data.
