American Laboratory

Several chapters in this book are based on articles that appeared in American Laboratory from 1981 to 1988. I wish to acknowledge my coauthors of these papers, F. J. McLafferty, W. Gratzer, and B. P. Angelis. I wish to thank the editors of American Laboratory, especially Brian Howard, for permission to quote extensively from those articles.

Another very useful series of chemometric related articles has been written by David Coleman and Lynn Vanatta. Their series is on the subject of regression analysis. It has appeared in American Laboratory in a set of over twenty-five articles. Copies of the back articles are available on the web at the URL address found in reference [18].
