A flexible trilinear decomposition algorithm for three-way calibration based on the trilinear component model and a theoretical extension of the algorithm to the multilinear component model

- An efficient and flexible novel trilinear decomposition algorithm is proposed.
- The algorithm converges fast.
- The algorithm is insensitive to initialization and excess number of components.
- The algorithm is favorable not only for EEMs data but also for HPLC-DAD data.
- A theoretical extension of the algorithm to the multilinear model is developed.
