Software data analysis

Many of the topics covered in analytical chemistry benefit from the availability of appropriate computer software. In preparing this text, however, I made a conscious decision to avoid a presentation tied to a single computer platform or software package. Students and faculty are increasingly experienced in the use of computers, spreadsheets, and data analysis software their use is, I think, best left to the personal choice of each student and instructor.

Most laboratories now have access to powerful computers and an extensive array of commercially available data analysis software (e.g., Prism (GraphPad, San Diego, CA), Sigma Plot (San Rafael, CA)). This provides ready access to the use of nonlinear regression techniques for the direct analysis of binding data, together with appropriate statistical analyses. However, there remains a valuable place for the manual methods, which involve linearisation, particularly in the undergraduate arena and these have been rehearsed in the above text. 

The NIH/EPA CIS consists of a collection of chemical data bases together with a battery of computer programs for interactive searching through these disk-stored data bases. In addition the CIS has a data referral capability as well as a data analysis software system. It can be thought of then, as having four main areas ... 

Especially in academic science, data analysis often starts as an exploratory creative process with evolving ideas of the data analysis flow and rapidly changing analysis parameters or conditions. Therefore, data analysis software has to be extremely flexible in order not to limit the exploration of data. Furthermore, it is important that the data analysis process is comprehensible and easily readable at all time points to ensure that scientists can share their approach with colleagues and to better prevent conceptual mistakes. A third requirement to data analysis software is the minimization of effort and time a scientist has to invest to implement various methods.

The rapid development of computer technology has yielded powerful tools that make it possible for modem EIS analysis software not only to optimize an equivalent circuit, but also to produce much more reliable system parameters. For most EIS data analysis software, a non-linear least squares fitting method, developed by Marquardt and Levenberg, is commonly used. The NLLS Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm has become the basic engine of several data analysis programs. 

The data were smoothed using a 15 point cubic-quartic Savitzky and Golay (1A) algorithm, the x-ray satellites and a Shirley background were subtracted using computer routines available in the Vacuum Generators data analysis software. Only the treated data are presented here.

The molecular weight distribution of SAN copolymers can be determined by gel permeation chromatography [10]. SAN copolymers are soluble in common solvents such as tetrahydrofuran. The solubility characteristics of SAN copolymers, combined with the commercial availability of columns and data analysis software, make gel permeation chromatographic analysis a rapid and routine procedure. The choice of detectors can allow for the determination of absolute molecular weight [11]. Selection of multiple detectors enables characterization of compositional heterogeneity as a function of molecular weight [12], as illustrated in Figure 13.3. 

In thermal field flow fractionation (TFFF), a temperature gradient is applied. The primary potential advantage of this technique is that it can be used to size particles in the range 0.01 pm to 0.001 pm, an order of magnitude smaller than SFFF. Fffractionation market a TFFF polymer fractionator channel module with 286/16 MHz IBM compatible PC, super VGA color monitor workstation to include data acquisition software, hardware and data analysis software. A linear UV detector and single channel high performance pump are optional. 

Several data analysis software packages are available and average sizes generated by these are not comparable [311-313]...
