Abstract
Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for estimating the features (concentration, weight, volume, etc.) of target materials, by using kinetic change information along time, when measuring the results of a chemical reaction between two materials, target materials and reactant, with an optical or electrochemical method. More precisely, the disclosed method and apparatus obtain in advance the correlation between accurate feature values of the target materials measured by a reference equipment and the kinetic change information related to the feature values of the target materials which is varying along the passage of time and indicates the results of chemical reaction measured by an optical or electrochemical method, and then estimates the feature values of the new samples using the correlation and the kinetic change information obtained from the new sample. In addition, the invention relates to a method and an apparatus for correcting errors by using kinetic change information of target materials, more particularly to a method and an apparatus for correcting the feature values of the first material by using the kinetic change information for the features (concentration, amount, etc.) of the first material, a correlation between the kinetic change information and the features of the second material, and a correlation between measurement errors of the features of the second material and the features of the first material.
