Abstract
Simultaneous determination of Ni(II), Cd(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) was studied by two methods, kernel partial least squares (KPLS) and wavelet packet transform partial least squares (WPTPLS), with xylenol orange and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide as reagents in the medium pH = 9.22 borax-hydrochloric acid buffer solution. Two programs, PKPLS and PWPTPLS, were designed to perform the calculations. Data reduction was performed using kernel matrices and wavelet packet transform, respectively. In the KPLS method, the size of the kernel matrix is only dependent on the number of samples, thus the method was suitable for the data matrix with many wavelengths and fewer samples. Wavelet packet representations of signals provide a local time-frequency description, thus in the wavelet packet domain, the quality of the noise removal can be improved. In the WPTPLS by optimization, wavelet function and decomposition level were selected as Daubeches 12 and 5, respectively. Experimental results showed both methods to be successful even where there was severe overlap of spectra.
