Abstract: Calibration and prediction for NIR spectroscopy data are performed based on a functional interpretation of the Beer-Lambert formula. Considering that, for each chemical sample, the resulting spectrum is a continuous curve obtained as the summation of overlapped absorption spectra from each analyte plus a Gaussian error, we assume that each individual spectrum can be expanded as a linear combination of B-splines basis. Calibration is then performed using two procedures for estimating the individual analytes' curves: basis smoothing and smoothing splines. Prediction is done by minimizing the square error of prediction. To assess the variance of the predicted values, we use a leave-one-out jackknife technique. Departures from the standard error models are discussed through a simulation study, in particular, how correlated errors impact on the calibration step and consequently on the analytes' concentration prediction. Finally, the performance of our methodology is demonstrated through the analysis of two publicly available datasets.
