Identification of weak transitions using moving-window two-dimensional correlation analysis: treatment with scaling techniques.

In the present study, the theory of the data treatment with scaling techniques for moving-window two-dimensional (scaling-MW2D) correlation analysis was first proposed. This new analytical method of spectroscopy can significantly enhance the resolving capacity of the moving-window two-dimensional (MW2D) correlation infrared spectroscopy in the direction of the perturbation variable. So, it strengthened the ability of MW2D to highlight the weak transitions.
