Algebraic transformation of the exponential correlation into an expression based on the decadic logarithm yields the law of Beer–Lambert:

where [d] = 1cm, [c] = 1mol^dm -3 , and [e] = 1dm^3mol -1 cm1 e is the molar absorption coefficient.

One major problem is that this approach does not take species frequency of occurrence or relative abundance into account.
