CuBatch, a MATLAB® interface for n-mode data analysis

Abstract

This communication describes the CuBatch interface software developed within the framework of the “NwayQual European Project”. Built originally to deal solely with batch process data, CuBatch can be employed on the most disparate types of data. It includes various methods and algorithms for both multi-way and classical data analysis in different domains: curve resolution, exploratory analysis and regression. Moreover, it is intuitive and provides results as graphical outputs with numerous options and possibilities. CuBatch is not meant to be exhaustive with respect to the methods but implements an open architecture allowing custom extensions. Several reference data sets suitable for learning and familiarizing with this interface and an extensive help in html format are also part of the package. CuBatch may be seen as a general tool, the use of which can be fruitful for both academic and industrial purposes. This communication has the sole aim to inform the readers of the existence and availability of this software and to describe its features. CuBatch is available on request through Total France, KVL and VUB, after review by Total.
