** MSC and Mean Centering are also depending on the C-Set spectra selection. NIRCal handles
this dependency automatically. The necessary data is stored in the pretreatments itself so they can
also operate automatically in the predictor of the application.

T: Transmittance or Reflectance
A: Absorbance
S: Spectrum
h: delta X, distance of base point on the x-axis
3.5.3 Normalization
Normalization
The aim of normalization is to reduce baseline variations.
MSC is used to reduce or to increase baseline effects caused by scattering.
Tip

for solids

reduce particle size effects

reduce pressure difference
