Principal component regression （PCR）, partial least squares with one dependent variable （PLS1） or multi-dependent variables （PLS2）, and multivariate curve resolution （MCR） were applied to the spectral data of a ternary mixture containing paracetamol, sodium ascorbate and chlorpheniramine （150：140：1, m/m/m）, and a quaternary mixture containing paracetamol, caffeine, phenylephrine and chlorpheniramine （125：6. 25：1.25：1, m/m/m/m）. The UV spectra of the calibration samples in the range of 200-320 nm were pre-treated by removing noise and useless data, and the wavelength regions having the most useful analytical information were selected using the regression coefficients calculated in the multivariate modeling. All the defined chemometric models were validated on external sample sets and then applied to commercial pharmaceutical formulations. Different data intervals, fixed at 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 point/nm, were tested to optimize the prediction ability of the models.
