Data analysis graphical

Kinetic studies have benefited immensely from microcomputers. Whereas dedicated software is often necessary for interfacing to specific instmments, data analysis can be carried out using readily available software materials capable of producing high quaUty graphical output. Most recentiy, it has become common to measure concentrations in some way that produces digital data that is entered automatically into the computer (see Computer technology). 

As can be seen from Figure 11, the graphical method does provide a good visual means for analysing life data and is easUy understood and explained. If used with discretion, graphical analysis can provide a useful means for data analysis. 

The first step in data analysis is the selection of the best filling probability function, often beginning with a graphical analysis of the frequency histogram. Moment ratios and moment-ratio diagrams (with p as abscissa and as ordinate) are useful since probability functions of known distributions have characteristic values of p, and p. ... 

These problems were addressed by Tidwell and Mortimer117 118 who advocated numerical analysis by non-linear least squares and Kelen and Tiidos110 1"0 who proposed an improved graphical method for data analysis. The Kelen-Tiidos equation is as follows (eq. 43) ... 

With the availability of microcomputers, data system applications have been moved off of the shared system and onto stand alone microcomputers. Microcomputers offer the graphics capability and consistent response time desirable for data analysis prcgramming. 

If the probability distribution of the data is or assumed Gaussian, several statistical measures are available for interpreting the data. These measures can be used to interpret the latent variables determined by a selected data analysis method. Those described here are a combination of statistical measures and graphical analysis. Taken together they provide an assessment of the statistical significance of the analysis. 

Sometimes the interpretation of analytical data does not need the deepest mathematical analysis but it is sufficient to get an impression on the structure of the data. Although the basic idea of graphical data interpretation is ancient (e.g., Brinton [1914]), the fundamentals of modern explorative data analysis (EDA) has been developed in the 1960s (Tukey [1962, 1977]). 

The goal of EDA is to reveal structures, peculiarities and relationships in data. So, EDA can be seen as a kind of detective work of the data analyst. As a result, methods of data preprocessing, outlier selection and statistical data analysis can be chosen. EDA is especially suitable for interactive proceeding with computers (Buja et al. [1996]). Although graphical methods cannot substitute statistical methods, they can play an essential role in the recognition of relationships. An informative example has been shown by Anscombe [1973] (see also Danzer et al. [2001], p 99) regarding bivariate relationships. 

Advances in computer science continue to serve as the basis for new extensions to software products. In particular, artificial intelligence techniques have begun to mature to the point at which they can play a role in scientific software. In the future, scientific software will incorporate expert systems technology in order to provide a new level of assistance to scientists in applying statistical and graphical techniques to data analysis. 

Graphical and statistical data analysis will be carried out at various scales (regional, States/Northern Territory, and National). Non-parametric univariate and multivariate analysis along with the production of geochemical maps will be carried out.

We will skip (1) and (2) above as methods not to be preferred as global analyses. Graphical displays have tremendous values as exploratory data analysis (EDA) techniques with the type of data one encounters in these studies. For formal analyses, one could weigh univariate repeated and other factorial designs against their true multivariate counterparts. 

Some of the above plots can be combined in one graphical display, like onedimensional scatter plot, histogram, probability density plot, and boxplot. Figure 1.7 shows this so-called edaplot (exploratory data analysis plot) (Reimann et al. 2008). It provides deeper insight into the univariate data distribution The single groups are...

There are many ways to measure the concentrations of reacting species or species formed during the reaction, such as there are gc, UV-visible spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, refiactometry, polarometry, etc. Conversion can be monitored by pressure measurements, gas-flow measurements, calorimetry, etc. Data are collected on a computer and many programmes are available for data analysis [3,4], The two-reaction system described above can be treated graphically, if it fulfils either the Bodenstein or Michaelis-Menten criteria. 

If a TI-83 graphing calculator is being used, or another type of graphing calculator and a computer is available, refer to Appendix A for instructions on how to convert this data into graphical analysis.
