ABSTRACT
invasive blood analyte prediction minimizes prediction error
by limiting co-varying spectral interferents. Tissue samples are categorized based on subject demographic and instru mental skin measurements, including in vivo near-IR spec tral measurements. A multi-tier intelligent pattern classi?ca tion sequence organizes spectral data into clusters having a
