Governing Equations
NIR Spectrum Simulation:
Abs(λ) = ε_water(λ)·C_water + ε_API(λ)·C_API + noise(λ)
Key NIR Bands:
Water O-H stretch: 1450 nm, 1940 nm
API C-H stretch: 1680 nm (aromatic)
Excipient: 1200 nm (cellulose)
PLS Regression (Partial Least Squares):
Y = X·B + E
B = (X'X)⁻¹X'Y (simplified)
Hotelling T²:
T² = (x - x̄)'·S⁻¹·(x - x̄)
Alert if T² > χ²(α, k)
Q Residual (Squared Prediction Error):
Q = ||(I - P·P')·x||²
SPE limit from calibration
Control Chart:
μ ± 3σ limits (Western Electric rules)
Cpk = min(USL - μ, μ - LSL) / (3σ)
