Classification and Categories

The majority of very high concern substances will be those classified as category 1 or 2 CMRs. There are already around 850 such CMR substances based on current classifications, and it is likely that there will be another ca 500 identified from future testing. Most endocrine disrupters would require authorisation by being classified as carcinogenic or toxic for reproduction, but there is the option to add other endocrine disruptors on an ad hoc basis. 

Another aspect of polymer informatics, beyond the representation and registration of polymer information and data, is the conversion of data into knowledge and thus into the power to make decisions. To this end, the same tools, which are common in small molecule informatics, have also been used to study polymer data. The work that has been reported so far subdivides into two categories, namely classification and chemometrics problems and property prediction. 

The part of the international classification of diseases (ICD 10) concerning psychiatric disorders identifies over 500 different diagnoses or classification terms, divided into 10 main chapters and 100 categories, including classification and diagnostic criteria. These ten main chapters will not all be covered here, because clinical trials and approval data usually do not allow such discrimination. Additionally, some of these categories, such as dementia (code FOO-09) can be covered more appropriately under neurological diseases rather than in a chapter on psychiatric diseases. 

For classification and labelling, there are standard categories that apply to teratology data (similar categories also apply to effects on fertility, but these are outside the scope of this chapter) ... 

Manufactured or imported in quantities >1 t/a and meeting the criteria for classification as carcinogenic, mutagenic, or toxic to reproduction category 1 or 2 (DSD) and category lA or IB (CLP), respectively... 

The two methods have been compared by Moret et al. in the classification of three white wines they give about the same predictive ability, lower, of course, than the classification ability. The difference between classification and predictive ability becomes greatest when the number of objects is not much greater than the number of variables, or when there are very few objects in a category. A very low predicitive ability and a high classification ability reveal a bad experimental design. 

The category correlations can be cancelled only when all the objects of the training set are in the same category, and the method is used as a class modelling technique. However, the bayesian analysis in ARTHUR-BACLASS has b n compared with the usual BA in classification problems about winra and olive oils and about the same classification and prediction abilities were observe for both methods. 

After classification, all port wines are matured in oak barrels for a period that depends on the style and category. The wines are subsequently matured in wood casks or vats if oxidative aging (contact with oxygen) is desired, or in bottle when reductive aging is intended (without contact with oxygen). These different aging procedures affect both the polyphenolic and volatile profile of the wines.
