We are looking for someone to join the Celignis team and spearhead our growth and expansion into new markets and territories. Please click here for further information on the position and how to apply. We are pleased to announce that we have been selected to be awarded funding, through the Horizon Innosup Innovation Associate programme , to recruit a top-class person to lead the development of our bioprocess concept into a patentable process and prototype product with clear commercial potential.
Illinois-based Ibiocat , founded by Charles A. Abbas, and Ireland-based analytical provider Celignis, founded by Dan Hayes, have come together to develop bespoke bioeconomy solutions for clients that are looking to add value to their process residues generated from 1G and 2G ethanol plants. Click here to read more about this exciting collaboration and here to download a promotional flyer. This two-day event will see all 16 project partners discuss the progress made in the first 18 months of our Horizon project ENABLING and make plans for the activities to be undertaken in the second half of the project.
The focus of the project is on supporting the spreading of best practices and innovation in the provision production, pre-processing of biomass for the Bio-Based Industry BBI. Celignis will play a key role in the project with regards to stressing the importance of biomass composition in terms of evaluating feedstock and technology suitability.
Over the course of the project we will also be contacting a number of stakeholders, both in Ireland and overseas, and will be involved in the organisation of a number of networking events.

It requires minimal sample preparation, is non-destructive, and can have a high throughput on a sample basis.
The procedure involves the focussing of radiation on a sample. While some of the radiation will be scattered, some will pass through the sample, interacting with it.
When the radiation finally reaches the detector it will pass on this absorbance information. This, along with the scatter from the sample, forms the spectrum of the material.
Visible light is defined as to nm with the longer wavelengths being in the near infrared region. The CH, OH and NH bonds of an organic substance those of most interest in carbohydrate chemistry will absorb energy in this region. The infrared spectrum consists of overtones and combination bands of these and other fundamental absorptions. NIRS is largely an indirect analytical technique requiring calibration using samples of known composition determined by using standard, wet-chemical, methods.
These calibrations are based on the correlations of spectra of samples with their wet chemistry data. Once calibrated, quantitative predictions for the composition of a sample can be attempted from its NIR spectrum alone. The results and accuracy of calibrations are then validated by presenting "unknown" samples to the NIR device and comparing the results with those obtained by the wet-chemistry analysis. The spectra are then imported into our custom-built chemometric software program for subsequent treatment and model development.
Partial least squares regression using one Y variable i. PLS1 is used for the development of Celignis models. Spectral pre-treatment techniques are often applied prior to model development in order to simplify the models and reduce the effect that particle size variation may have on the scattering of light.
Cross validation statistics have been used to determine the most appropriate model. The Haaland and Thomas criterion is used to select the number of PLS factors to use in the model. In order to get an idea of the predictive ability of a model a number of statistical measures are used.
These can be applied to the calibration set the group of samples that are used to build the model parameters , the cross-validation set samples temporarily excluded from model development but still ultimately involved in the development of the model , and the independent set samples that have no input into the development of the model.
Statistics solely based on the calibration set can give an inaccurate representation of the predictive ability of the model for unknown samples since it is possible to "overfit" the model to the calibration set, particularly if a large number of PLS factors are used. Cross-validation statistics provide a better idea of the robustness of a model but, ideally, independent validation a test set should be used. When presenting our regression statistics Celignis will use the values for the test set, unless otherwise stated.
Some of the most important statistics, those that are used on this website, are described below:. R-Squared, Coefficient of Multiple Determination - Describes how well the data points fit the statstical model the line of regression.
Values range from 0 to 1. Bias - This is defined as the average difference between the NIR-predicted value and the real value. A positive value means that, on average, the model is over-estimating the composition by this amount whilst a negative value represents an underestimation. Since we at Celignis are focused on getting predictions to be as accurate as possible, we consider the RMSEP to be more important.
RPD, Ratio of standard error of Performance to standard Deviation - This is equal to the SEP divided by the standard deviation of the compositional values determined via wet-chemistry of the samples in the test set. If the RPD is equal to one then the SEP is equal to the standard deviation of the reference data meaning that the model is not predicting the reference values. Higher values for the RPD suggest increasingly accurate models.
The numbers obtained for the RER will typically be around four to five times larger than those for the RPD; however, the exact relationship between the two will depend on the distribution of samples in the test set.
AACC Method Thresholds are also provided for the RPD value but this value can be subject to manipulation according to how the sample set is constructed. Celignis considers that the RER value is a better test for the quality of the model, providing that there are no concentration outliers to inflate the value and that the concentration range of the constituent is well represented as is the case in the Celignis NIR models.
Deviation in Prediction. When providing the results for NIR predictions of samples, Celignis provides the predicted compositional value and also a value for the "Deviation in Prediction". This Deviation value can be considered to represent a form of a confidence interval around the predicted value.
It is calculated based on how similar the spectrum of the unknown sample is to the samples that constitute the calibration set. If the type of sample to be predicted is already in the calibration set then the Deviation is likely to be low.
Click here for a list of some of the sample types in the current Celignis models. A sample with a large value for its deviation will be quite different spectrally, and quite possibly phsically and chemically, from the calibration samples, hence the model may not be appropriate for predicting that sample with a high degree of accuracy.

R MSEC measures goodness of fit between your data and the calibration model. Depending on the type of data, model and application this can be subject to a huge optimistic bias due to overfitting compared to the R MSE observed for real cases when applying the calibration. If the model suffers from not being complex enough underfitting , calibration error approximates prediction error. But it cannot indicate overfitting.
If the splitting of the data is done correctly, this gives a good estimate on how the model built on the data set at hand performs for unknown cases. However, due to the resampling nature of the approach, it actually measures performance for unknown cases that were obtained among the calibration cases. For that, you need. RMSEP can measure e. I'd recommend to report for both cross validation and prediction errors in detail how the test cases are set apart, and for what factors independence was ensured.
I regularly meet descriptions of "independent testing" RMSEP where acutally a single split of the calibration data was performed. A one-time split of the data obtained for calibration typically yields no better performance estimate than a cross validation. I claim this because in practice, most data leaks occur just as easily for one split as for the many splits in cross validation.
Nevertheless, it may be easier to implement a protocol that in practice avoids these errors in a very transparent way for predicition error. Sign up to join this community.
