Notes:
The effect of peak shifts on the performance of a Kalman filter multicomponent analysis algorithm has been investigated. A series of Gaussian test systems were employed to characterize the concentration estimation errors and the morphology of the on-line residuals (the innovations sequence). Both forward and reverse filters were used in the generation of the innovations sequences. It was found that the difference between the forward and reverse innovations sequences gave an accurate indication of the direction and magnitude of the peak shift. A series of overlapped two-component systems were also investigated. Again, a correlation between the difference innovations and the degree of the response shift was observed. The behavior of the Kalman filter in fitting the shifted fluorescence emission spectrum of benzo[a]pyrene was also examined. The response for benzo[a]pyrene in cyclohexane solution was compared to that obtained on the surface surface of a reversed phase thin layer chromatography plate. A red shift of 4 nm was detected for the surface spectrum by observing the difference innovations sequence. This approach holds promise for correction of response shifts in multicomponent systems.
