A binder resin composition for secondary battery electrodes is described as containing a polymer (A) that has a structural unit represented by general formula (1) and a water-insoluble particulate polymer (B-1) and/or a water-soluble polymer (B-2) where (A), (B-1) and (B-2) are defined as described. A slurry for secondary battery electrodes contains the binder resin composition, an active material and a solvent. An electrode for secondary batteries is provided with a collector and an electrode layer that is arranged on the collector, where the electrode layer contains an active material and the binder resin composition. Alternatively, the electrode layer is obtained by applying the slurry for secondary battery electrodes to the collector, and drying the slurry thereon.

A target variable analysis unit () calculates the triad fractions of monomer units in the composition of a known polymer sample from the copolymerization reactivity ratios of the monomer units to obtain a target variable. A waveform processing unit () processes NMR measurements, signals, etc. An explanatory variable analysis unit () obtains explanatory variables from the amount of chemical shift and signal strength in the NMR measurements of the known sample. A model generation unit () determines the regression equation of the regression model of the target variable and the explanatory variables by partial least squares regression, and obtains regression model coefficients. A sample analysis unit () uses the regression model to calculate the triad fractions for an unknown copolymer sample from the amount of chemical shift and signal strength in the NMR measurements of the unknown copolymer sample. By using a copolymer for lithography in which the total of the triad fractions obtained in this way is not more than 20 mole % in the copolymer, a resist composition with excellent solubility and sensitivity can be manufactured.
