Our experience with the application of multivariate statistics to process control began in the late 1980s. Bruce Kowalski, founder of the Center for Process Analytic Chemistry (CPAC), had coined the term chemometrics to describe the application of mathematics and statistics to chemical processes. At that time, the authors were employed by the DuPont C hemical C o., which was a member of CPAC. Bruce educated the members of CPAC about principal component analysis (PCA) and projections to latent structures, also known as partial least squares (PLS).
