Abstract
Based on neural network calibration the confidence intervals of aromaticity determination from infrared reflectance spectra of raw brown coals were estimated by means of the bootstrap method, a simplified Monte Carlo Simulation. The standard deviations and the confidence intervals were estimated to characterise the analysis error. It is shown that confidence intervals of non-linear analysis methods like Back Propagation Neural Networks (BPNN) can be estimated by the bootstrap method. The estimated confidence intervals of the calibration confirm the analysis by BPNN.
