For every tablet, three reponse variables are measured: the
amount of active ingredient (nominally 200 mg/tablet), the weight and
the hardness. Typically, one wants to estimate the amount of active
ingredient from the NIR spectra, a straightforward multivariate
calibration problem. The goal of the shootout competition was to find
the optimal way to transfer a calibration model of the first
instrument to the second.
