Abstract:
The present paper deals with the selection of variables for the H-point and generalised H-point standard additions methods (HPSAM and GHPSAM, respectively). Both methods are applied for the resolution of spectroscopic interfered signals in the UV-vis range. The HPSAM is a suitable method for the resolution of binary and ternary mixtures when the interferent is known. The GHPSAM is applied for the resolution of samples that contain unknown interferents. In this paper, a method based on the study of a principal components analysis (PCA) for the selection of variables for the HPSAM and GHPSAM is proposed. The PCA results show the isolation of the analyte signal from the sample signal, achieved by the application of the HPSAM and GHPSAM. It is showed that by means of the score and loading plots, it is possible to select the most appropriate variables without a priori establishing any condition.

Decision Making: P-value Method
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses: a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can have a...
