Nits, Lux, Lumen, Candela - calculating with light and lighting
Luminous flux, luminous intensity, luminance and co. - when is which quantity used and how can they be compared?

PCA, PCR, PLS: Calibration Methods in NIR Spectroscopy
NIR spectra very rarely have clearly distinguishable peaks that correlate unambiguously with the composition of a sample. However, thanks to chemometric methods such as PCA, PCR and PLS, clear signals can also be extracted in the NIR range.

Avoiding scattering errors in NIR spectroscopy
Scattering effects can significantly complicate the evaluation of NIR spectra. Preprocessing steps such as MSC or SNV help here.
