Statistics for analytical chemists

Statistics for analytical chemists (1 Day)

The quality of analytical data is a vital aspect of the work of an analytical chemist. The application of statistics is central to the assessment of data quality and an understanding of statistics is essential to the interpretation of analytical results. The application of statistics is required for method validation and measurement uncertainty calculations, and is thus essential for meeting ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation requirements. This computer-based course provides an introduction to the basic statistical tools that analytical chemists need for their work. The course starts from looking at data and then explains the most common statistical parameters and how to calculate them.

What are the benefits?

This course is designed to help delegates to understand some of the most important statistical concepts used by analytical chemists, calculate the most common statistics, apply significance testing and use linear regression in calibration.

Content

The course will cover:

Introduction to statistics
Significance testing, F-test
Analysis of variance (one-way ANOVA

Significance testing, t-tests
Control charts
Linear regression

Who should attend?

This course is aimed at analytical chemists who need to use statistics and require a better understanding of the fundamental concepts. It is suitable for analysts with limited or no experience of statistics.

All LGC's courses are non-residential run in South West London at Teddington.  The
