Chemometric method

Some recent references have demonstrated the power of statistical techniques applied to crude assay prediction. The availability of large crude assay databases integrated with advanced statistical methods allows the prediction of updated crude oil assays or isolated physical properties. 

Most of these technologies are based on neural networks models, and also provide an error estimate for die predictions, allowing the user to validate the

Chemometrics is the discipline which deals wdth the application of statistical and, in a more general sense, of mathematical methods to chemical data. Chemometric methods are used for the extraction of chemical information from chemical data.

Other chemometrics methods to improve caUbration have been advanced. The method of partial least squares has been usehil in multicomponent cahbration (48—51). In this approach the concentrations are related to latent variables in the block of observed instmment responses. Thus PLS regression can solve the colinearity problem and provide all of the advantages discussed earlier. Principal components analysis coupled with multiple regression, often called Principal Component Regression (PCR), is another cahbration approach that has been compared and contrasted to PLS (52—54). Cahbration problems can also be approached using the Kalman filter as discussed (43). 

Most of the 2D QSAR methods are based on graph theoretic indices, which have been extensively studied by Randic [29] and Kier and Hall [30,31]. Although these structural indices represent different aspects of molecular structures, their physicochemical meaning is unclear. Successful applications of these topological indices combined with multiple linear regression (MLR) analysis are summarized in Ref. 31. On the other hand, parameters derived from various experiments through chemometric methods have also been used in the study of peptide QSAR, where partial least square (PLS) [32] analysis has been employed [33]. 

For many applications, quantitative band shape analysis is difficult to apply. Bands may be numerous or may overlap, the optical transmission properties of the film or host matrix may distort features, and features may be indistinct. If one can prepare samples of known properties and collect the FTIR spectra, then it is possible to produce a calibration matrix that can be used to assist in predicting these properties in unknown samples. Statistical, chemometric techniques, such as PLS (partial least-squares) and PCR (principle components of regression), may be applied to this matrix. Chemometric methods permit much larger segments of the spectra to be comprehended in developing an analysis model than is usually the case for simple band shape analyses. 

Mathews and Rawlings (1998) successfully applied model-based control using solids hold-up and liquid density measurements to control the filtrability of a photochemical product. Togkalidou etal. (2001) report results of a factorial design approach to investigate relative effects of operating conditions on the filtration resistance of slurry produced in a semi-continuous batch crystallizer using various empirical chemometric methods. This method is proposed as an alternative approach to the development of first principle mathematical models of crystallization for application to non-ideal crystals shapes such as needles found in many pharmaceutical crystals.

The importance of the degree of esterification (%DE) to the gelation properties of pectins makes it desirable to obtain a fast and robust method to determine (predict) the %DE in pectin powders. Vibrational spectroscopy is a good candidate for the development of such fast methods as spectrometers and quantitative software algorithms (chemometric methods) becomes more reliable and sophisticated. Present poster is a preliminary report on the quantitative performance of different instrumentations, spectral regions, sampling techniques and software algorithms developed within the area of chemometrics. 

Procedures used vary from trial-and-error methods to more sophisticated approaches including the window diagram, the simplex method, the PRISMA method, chemometric method, or computer-assisted methods. Many of these procedures were originally developed for HPLC and were apphed to TLC with appropriate changes in methodology. In the majority of the procedures, a set of solvents is selected as components of the mobile phase and one of the mentioned procedures is then used to optimize their relative proportions. Chemometric methods make possible to choose the minimum number of chromatographic systems needed to perform the best separation.

As we have stated in the introduction to this chapter and as appears from this overview, a wide variety of chemometric methods converges in QSAR, which plays a key role in the design of novel and improved drugs.

It is therefore not surprising that the interest in PyMS as a typing tool diminished at the turn of the twenty-first century and hence why taxonomists have turned to MS-based methods that use soft ionization methods such as electrospray ionization (ESI-MS) and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI MS). These methods generate information-rich spectra of metabolites and proteins, and because the molecular ion is seen, the potential for biomarker discovery is being realized. The analyses of ESI-MS and MALDI-MS data will still need chemometric methods, and it is hoped that researchers in these areas can look back and learn from the many PyMS studies where machine learning was absolutely necessary to turn the complex pyrolysis MS data into knowledge of bacterial identities.

Topics which will be presented in this chapter include the hardware, software, automation, valve and column configurations, and integration used in comprehensive 2DLC. Aspects of the 2DLC experiment in conjunction with multichannel detectors such as UV diode array optical detectors and mass spectrometers are discussed along with the handling of the data, which is expected to expand in scope in the future as chemometric methods are more widely used for data analysis. 

This definition is convenient because it allows us to then jump directly to what is arguably the simplest Chemometric technique in use, and consider that as the prototype for all chemometric methods that technique is multiple regression analysis. Written out in matrix notation, multiple regression analysis takes the form of a relatively simple matrix equation ... 

Nonetheless, near-IR is the most widely used IR technique. Less intense water absorptions permit to increase the sampling volume to compensate, to some extent, for the lower near-IR absorption coefficients and the inferior specificity of the absorption bands can for many applications be overcome by application of advanced chemometric methods. Miniaturised light sources, various sensor probes, in particular based on transmission or transflectance layouts, and detectors for this spectral range are available at competitive prices, as are (telecommunications) glass or quartz fibres. 

For environmental analysis or other fields where flexibility in analyte detection and/or the possibility to record whole spectra is essential, the use of spectrometers is inevitable. Recording full spectra also allows using chemometric methods to extract information from these spectra for multi-component analysis43. 

Chapters 3 6 deal with direct mass spectrometric analysis highlighting the suitability of the various techniques in identifying organic materials using only a few micrograms of samples. Due to the intrinsic variability of artefacts produced in different places with more or less specific raw materials and technologies, complex spectra are acquired. Examples of chemometric methods such as principal components analysis (PCA) are thus discussed to extract spectral information for identifying materials. 

Two different chemometric methods for the analysis of environmental monitoring data sets are presented for the investigation of pollution patterns distributed over particular geographical areas, times, and environmental compartments. 

The potential of the chemometric methods PCA and MCR-ALS for the analysis of databases obtained from environmental monitoring studies has been shown. 

Criminalistics and trace evidence are both terms that apply to all types of physical material that may be circumstantial evidence in the trial of a case. Most often experts who are identified as criminalists, microanalysts, or trace evidence examiners analyze a variety of types of trace evidence. They carry out three types of identification. First is to determine the nature of small items of trace evidence. After this forensic experts compare the trace evidence with known materials for the purpose of determining the origin of the evidence. The third type of criminahstics investigations is performed in order to identify an individual to whom the trace belongs. For this purpose population studies using statistics (especially the probabilistic approach of Bayesian theory) and chemometrics methods are utilized.
