Application of Akaike information criterion assisted probabilistic latent semantic analysis on non-trilinear total synchronous fluorescence spectroscopic data sets: Automatizing fluorescence based multicomponent mixture analysis.

The lack of trilinear structure is known to limit the application of chemometric techniques on the total synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy (TSFS) data sets. To overcome this limitation, the present work successfully proposes application of Akaike information criterion (AIC) assisted probabilistic latent semantic analysis (pLSA) algorithm on TSFS data sets. The present work also discusses various practical and theoretical aspects that need to be considered while applying AIC assisted pLSA algorithm on TSFS data sets.
