3.18.4 Calibration Score Limits
Description
Allowed minimum and maximum score values of the calibration.
Use
Score outlier detection in the validation set, especially in Cluster calibration.
Method
PCR / PLS / Cluster (CLU) / SIMCA
Matrices ID
45
Tip
Only scores outliers according the secondary PCs are important.

Scores
The allowed score limits for the validation: 1.05 x min. and max. scores of the C-set spectra.
The default blow up limit of 1.05 can be edited by the user.
3.18.5 Cluster per Property
Description
Number of cluster -connected radii area- per property.
Use
Additional information for property separation.
Method
Cluster (CLU) / SIMCA
Matrices ID
52
Tip
The number of cluster per property is always 1 in a good calibration.
Details
Each spectra of the same property should be together and build one
connected cluster.

A good calibration has only one cluster for each property
3.18.6 Consistency
Description
Consistency describes the relation between the standard errors of the
calibration and validation sets.
Use
Selecting the secondary PCs for a robust calibration.
Method
PCR / PLS (only with VS mode)
Matrices ID
33
Tip
SEP- and SEE-value should be small and similar for a stable calibration.
With an optimal number of PCs the consistency shows values around 100
(80-110).
