Changing scales with Fourier transformation [Lesson 3 of matrix algebra (matrix multiplication)]
In the last column, we showed how we could perform Fourier transformation (FT) of a near-infrared (NIR) spectrum in a few lines of matrix algebra and said that in this column we would use it in a novel way. The task we are going to perform is that of changing scales of spectroscopic (NIR) data. This may be novel, we are not aware that anyone else does it this way, but of course instrument manufacturers sometimes like to be silent about the methods they employ.
The TDeious way of doing Fourier transformation (Lesson 2 of matrix algebra)
At the end of the last column we promised that this time we would show how matrix algebra can be used for real computational tasks. The chosen task is Fourier transformation (FT) of a near infrared (NIR) spectrum. Those who know Tony Davies will not be surprised at this choice of subject but in the third lesson the reason for wanting to do the obvious will become apparent.
