Aim and content

CHALLENGES - Topics for a further understanding of advanced modelling methods ( A part of the International School of Chemometrics 2021 - see below)

This seminar contains three topics:

- MULTIWAY - Multiway data analysis: Multi-way data is gaining popularity due to the capability of scientific devices to generate data with, at least, 3 dimensions (elution time – mz channel – samples, excitation-emission – sample, etc). Therefore, learning the basics of multi-way analysis will help to extract the most of that complex data structure. In this sense, methods like parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) and PARAFAC2 will be studied and applied to different examples.

- FUSION - Multivariate data fusion approaches: The seminar will deal with the chemometric approaches for integrating (“fusing”) data from different sources. First of all the various configurations which may occur when dealing with multiple data matrices will be presented and discussed and a hierarchy/systematization of the possible data fusion approaches will be introduced. Then the main multi-block strategies for data exploration and predictive modelling will be discussed and compared and further classification of models depending on whether the globally common, locally common and distinct information is considered or not will be introduced. The theoretical and algorithmic description of the methods will be accompanied by worked examples of real data sets.

- ERROR - Error propagation in multivariate models: The seminar will deal with “Measurement Error (ME)”. First, we will introduce measurement errors, show the different types of noise and learn how to propagate them to the final result in the univariate case. Then, we will move to multivariate data and will show how to characterize and simulate multivariate ME, with special emphasis in error covariance matrices and how these can provide a clue about the structure of the errors of our data. Finally, we will apply the error propagation theory to the multivariate scenario and learn how to calculate the uncertainty of prediction (PLS) and classification.

Previous knowledge needed: Basic multivariate data analysis and Matlab
Software needed: Matlab and PLS_Toolbox. IMPORTANT: For the PLS_Toolbox a fully functional demo will be available for the School.
Teachers: Rasmus Bro (MULTIWAY), Federico Marini (FUSION) and Ricard Boqué (ERROR).


The International School of Chemometrics 2021

The “International School of Chemometrics (ISC) – 2021” is a six-week PhD school specifically aimed at people having acquired some basic understanding of chemometrics. ISC will be offered at practitioner level.

“ISC – 2021” is addressed to PhD students/post-docs, associate professors, etc. who want to acquire further knowledge on advanced multivariate data analysis from different disciplines (Chemistry, Physics, Food Science, Biology, Geology, Environmental Sciences, etc.). “ISC – Challenges” also addresses companies or research laboratories who want to implement advanced multivariate data analysis in their daily research environment.

There is the possibility of attending the School via online and being granted with the corresponding ECTS

ISC – 2021 aims at being a platform for:

- Learning data analysis methods. ISC – Challenges is specifically designed for researchers who want to acquire extra knowledge on multivariate data analysis and adapt it in their routine work.

- Sharing knowledge and interchange of ideas between students covering different scientific backgrounds. One of the key points of the course is the interaction between the students and troubleshooting - always within the framework of scientific data analysis and performance.

- Meeting world-wide recognized experts of Multivariate Data Analysis in an open discussion forum environment. ISC - Challenges will count with teachers that are well-recognized experts on chemometrics and multivariate data analysis in their respective fields.

This, at the same time, will offer the possibility of opening new collaborative frameworks between students and teachers. The students enrolling will have the opportunity of choosing the seminars that they consider most relevant, without the obligation of attending a minimum amount of seminars.

Seminars and dates:

Each seminar is independent and the registration is individual. The students can choose to attend the seminars which they consider more relevant for their research. There is no minimum of seminars that the student must attend. In total, attending the whole school, one student can obtain up to 12 ECTS credits.

Learning outcome
The intended learning outcomes are divided into two categories:

1) Individual learning outcomes: the main target for each individual seminar is to learn the basis of one data analysis method focused on several proposed examples. The students have to be able to apply the acquired knowledge to any problem related to their own research.

2) Global learning outcomes: Students attending all the seminars will, at the end of the course, be able to understand the structure of a vast amount of data structures and also to understand the problems derived from the data. Moreover, they will be independent in the application of solutions to their problems in a dedicated manner.

Remarks
The price for participating is as follows (same price for online and physically present):

Academia: DKK 600 per ECTS
Industry: DKK 1500 per ECTS

Payment must be completed before the course starts. Information on the method of payment will be provided after confirmation of registration.

There is the possibility of attending the School via online and being granted with the corresponding ECTS

All seminars include all the material that the student might need:
- Slides of the course (pdf)
- Exercises
- Datasets
- Toolboxes
- Refreshment during the lessons (coffee, tea, candies, cookies, and other amenities). This, of course, if we are allowed due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation
- Unlimited off-line access to the videos of the lessons until the end of 2021
- We do NOT provide: Matlab and lunch


Grants
ISC-2021 will offer TWO grants for students. The grant will cover the subscription fee for all the seminars. In order to apply for the grant, you need to send two documents to :

1) A paper that certifies that you are a student at any level (BSc, MSc or PhD student).
2) One page describing why you need to be at the School. How the School can be helpful in your research Times New Roman, 11 pt. with 1.5 line space).
The selection committee will be formed by Prof. Rasmus Bro and Prof. José Manuel Amigo. The announcement will be made no later than the end of April 2021.


Best Poster Award for physically present attendants
In order to foment collaboration between us and interchange ideas, CSC-2021 will include different poster sessions. Therefore, I would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the school. The abstract and poster are intended to promote the interchange of ideas between us, students and teachers.

The work does NOT NEED to be original. It can be original or it could have been presented in another conference. It can perfectly be an abstract that expresses your worries or doubts about an experiment that you want to perform.

1) The abstract:
- It should not be longer than 2 A4 pages, including figures, tables and references.
- The language must be English and formatted in Times New Roman, 11 pt. with 1.5 line space.
- It must be submitted in pdf

2) The poster:
- It must be in A3 size. I know that this is not a normal size for a poster. Nevertheless, we have very limited extra space.

Best poster award: The best poster will be chosen among the participants. The winner will receive a diploma and an award (a good one :). Depending on the number of posters presented, there might be one or two runner-ups. They will receive a diploma and some other surprises.
