MCR-ALS 2.0 toolbox
An updated version of the graphical user-friendly interface related to the Multivariate Curve Resolution-Alternating Least Squares (MCR-ALS) algorithm is presented. This GUI works under MATLAB® environment and includes recent published advances of this algorithm linked to the implementation of additional constraints, such as kinetic hard-modeling and correlation (calibration), as well as constraints linked to model structure for multiset and multi-way data analysis, such as the possibility to use fully or partially multilinear models (trilinear or quadrilinear) to describe the data set.
