2.9.   Measures of Error and Validation

Besides of the true-predicted plots, which will be introduced in section 3.4, the root mean square errors (RMSE) are used for the validation of the models in this work as it is one of the most common measures for the quality of calibrations and predictions in chemometrics:

Thereby  is the predicted concentration of the sample, yi is the true concentration of the sample and N is the total number of samples. The RMSE, which has the dimension and units of the concentrations predicted, is a strict measure of the error as it penalizes poor predictions by a quadratic term. For a relative measure of the error, the relative RMSE, which is also sometimes misnamed standard error of prediction (SEP) [41],[153],[154], is used in this work:
