I dunno, Don. From my perspective, 83 isn't OLD, it's barely middle age. After all, I'm still YOUNG! When I was born, you weren't even Bar Mitzva'ed yet!! I'm still planning on teaching NIR. And Chemometrics. And all that other good stuff. \o/ /_\ | ||

Dear Don I would like to thanks you for all the efforts you did to produce teaching materials which were a source of learning and inspiration to me for teaching NIRS to others. Your Handbooks will be forever a reference for all of them concerned with NIRS. I had the great honor to be a student of you in one of the ICNIRS Conferences and also we benefited of your teaching at NIR2003 in Cordoba. As you said, at the age of 83 it is time �to hung your shingle�, but your teaching materials that you donated altruistically to the ICNIRS Moodle platform will be soon hung on that and available for NIRS beginners around the world. Personally, as a teacher, I prefer the classroom but in this changing world it seems that I will be forced to expend the rest of my academic live doing more and more virtual teaching. But so, that is life!. When I was a teenager, I enjoyed writing letters and cards to my friends and now I only use emails, tweets and whatsapp messages�. Thanks again and enjoy your free time. Best regards | ||

Hi Don and Everybody: Sorry about the course at SCIX/FACSS. Looks like attendance at ALL of the short courses is not good. Our Chemometrics Without Equations has just enough to hold, and it looks like we'll do Advanced Chemometrics Without Equations also, but not sure yet. FYI, we're returning to FOSS in Hiller�d, DENMARK for our Beginning/Intermediate Chemometrics course with Rasmus Bro. Dates are October 22-25. Complete info at: http://eigenvector.com/courses/Chemometrics_at_FOSS_DK.html Also, we're now offering our 3-day Beginning Chemometrics course On-line, so you can take it without leaving your desk. Not as much fun as coming to Seattle for EigenU, but an efficient way to get started. See: http://eigenvector.com/courses/EigenU_Online.html Best regards, BMW Barry M. Wise Thanks! | ||

Hi Don, That is quite a notable success story. Congratulations! I thank you. I am pleased to count myself as one who took your course. I found it both informative and entertaining. Ha! That was back in the days of overhead projectors that used "transparencies".... Best wishes, Dave | ||

I guess it�s time to hang up my shingle. Twice in a row now my basic Near-IR course scheduled at FACSS (SCIX) has been cancelled for insufficient advance signups. The one chemist who wants it may soon come to Los Alamos for a 1-on-1 version. It�s been fun, but at 83 there are other activities to keep me occupied. So, thanks to the NIR community for offering me 30+ years of lecturing on my favorite subject. Don Burns | ||

Dear All ; You will accept that now NIRS and Chemometrics become in separable in application oriented project. In India Biometrics grown well but NIRS and Chemometrics yet to pick up its momentum . The days not far way . I have observed that NIRS started moving well . If short -time course and awareness created the giant might roar . We are ready to support to run such short course in India .Barry and others Please think off ! | ||

Dear Colleagues: We have three chemometrics courses this fall, including two slightly different versions of Beginning/Intermediate Chemometrics in Denmark and the US. Also, a new "without equations" course for your mathematically challenged friends/managers. Here is the schedule: October 24-27, 2011, Beginning/Intermediate Chemometrics at FOSS World Headquarters in Hiller�d, DENMARK. Instructors Rasmus Bro and Barry M. Wise, will be joined by Lars N�rgaard of FOSS for this 4-day, hands-on course. In addition to basic PCA/PLS, special topics include Advanced Preprocessing, Variable Selection, and Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them. This class will have a bias towards NIR examples. For complete info, see: http://eigenvector.com/courses/Chemometrics_at_FOSS_DK.html November 7-10, 2011, Beginning/Intermediate Chemometrics in conjunction with HORIBA Scientific in New Brunswick, NJ, USA. Instructors Jeremy M. Shaver and Neal B. Gallagher will be assisted by HORIBA's Eunah Lee. The 4-day, hands-on course includes basic PCA/PLS, plus special topics Clustering and Classification, Advanced Preprocessing with Emphasis on Raman Spectroscopy, and Chemometrics in Raman. See: http://eigenvector.com/courses/Chemometrics_at_JYH_NJ.html November 13, 2011, Intermediate Chemometrics without Equations at EAS in Somerset, NJ, USA. Donald Dahlberg will be assisted by Barry M. Wise for this one-day sequel to the popular Chemometrics without Equations. The course will focus on Advanced Preprocessing and Multivariate Curve Resolution/Self-modeling Mixture Analysis. See: http://www.eas.org/askeas/PrelimShortCourses.pdf Please write to me if you have questions. Best regards.... BMW Barry M.

Hi All, Thanks for pointing out the many possibilities. At the moment I am deciding what to do exactly. Many Thanks! Regards, Marloes | ||

Marloes - the CFPA course, as with any NIR course, includes a chemometrics section of necessity, although it's not emphasized as much as it used to be. I know because I used to be a co-instructor for that course. Last year a decision was made to split the course in two, downweight chemometrics in one (the one currently on their web site) and have it deal with all the other issues involved in NIR analysis. The other course, which is not yet scheduled but is planned for early next year (March or April), will deal almost exclusively with chemometrics. Both courses are to be given in Amsterdam.

Hello Marloes, I would recommend you the courses of SensoLogic (http://www.sensologic.com/english/) because the spectrometer system independent calibration development is in the focus. The theoretical background of chemometrics is given and practical challenges are discussed within the course. The courses are held in English or German. Best regards, Stefan | ||

hello Marloes, we are located in France, but working with Nederlands. It would be a pleasure to discuss with you about NIR calibrations. Staying at your disposal. Thomas Ricour | ||

Marloes, When posting a question of this nature, it might be a good idea to provide your email address and indicate what in which part of the world you are located. That would enable people to offer you some suggestions directly without flooding the list with overly commercial information. | ||

Marloes, You may be better asking the makers of your NIR system about training courses, although Camo is very good with its courses you have to purchase OLUP (I think)to be able to transfer your models from direct from Unscrambler to your instrument. Most instruments come with their own version of modelling software, so the companys provide on site training for their instruments. I would however recommend also doing the Camo courses for unscrambler as they are very good. Although this adds to the cost, it is well worth it. Regards Mike | ||

Marloes, I think NIRSoluciones can train you in english. Best regards, Lola | ||
| Marloes Hartman (marloes) New member Username: marloes Post Number: 2 Registered: 8-2009 |
Thanks for the help. The Nir2009 is a bit far away and too expensive because the distance. I did not realise that the CAMO calander is not updated for the whole of 2009. Maybe the German course is interesting for me, norwegian I dont speak. On the CFPA website, I can't find a chemometrics course. And the last website is in Spanish (our some other language?). Thanks all! Marloes | ||

Dear Marloes, you can contact NIRSoluciones, that provides NIR support. They provides specific NIR training courses, adapted to your needs. See www.nirsoluciones.com or e-mail to [email protected] | ||
| Howard Mark (hlmark) Senior Member Username: hlmark Post Number: 250 Registered: 9-2001 |
Marloes - you can also check out the courses offered by the Center for Professional Advancement (www.cfpa.com, then click on Analytical Chemistry => Near Infrared Spectroscopy) \o/ /_\ | ||

Hi! It is going to sound a bit promotional but you asked for a company providing courses... At CAMO we provide training on Multivariate Analysis and we have one dedicated to spectroscopy that includes pre-treatments and how to do a good calibration model and validate it. Here is the link to the webpage for training: http://www.camo.com/training/courses.html?coursename=®ion=&month=&action=true For the spectroscopy course there are 2 scheduled now: one in Germany and one in Norway however the list of the November course is not published yet. Have a nice day Marion | ||

Hello Marloes, Welcome to the NIR community. NIRP use to run course but it was not an economic proposition and it required a lot of time. I'm not aware of anyone running regular training courses. The first people to ask are the producers of your software. Several of them do run courses. The 14th international NIR conference will be held in Bangkok in November (www.nir2009.com/) and there will be excellent training courses in chemometrics and NIR. Highly recommended! Good luck! Best wishes, Tony | ||

Hi all, I am trying to calibrate our NIR system. To increase my knowledge, I am looking for a calibration course, with a bit of the background (this I can find on the net) and a lot of the practicalities. Can someone give me a clue where to search? Netherlands or somewhere around would be preferred. Thanks in advance, Marloes |
