Hence is the fraction of the total sum of squares (or inertia) c of the data X that is accounted for by v,. The sum of squares (or inertia) of the projections upon a certain axis is also proportional to the variance of these projections, when the mean value (or sum) of these projections is zero. In data analysis we can assign different masses (or weights) to individual points. This is the case in correspondence factor analysis which is explained in Chapter 32, but for the moment we assume that all masses are identical and equal to one. 

In this analysis, weight coefficients for rows and for columns have been defined as constants. They could have been made proportional to the marginal sums of Table 32.10, but this would weight down the influence of the earlier years, which we wished to avoid in this application. As with CFA, this analysis yields three latent vectors which contribute respectively 89, 10 and 1% to the interaction in the data. The numerical results of this analysis are very similar to those in Table 32.11 and, therefore, are not reproduced here. The only notable discrepancies are in the precision of the representation of the early years up to 1972, which is less than in the previous application, and in the precision of the representation of the category of women chemists which is better than in the previous analysis by CFA (0.960 vs 0.770). 

The overall objective of the system is to map from three types of numeric input process data into, generally, one to three root causes out of the possible 300. The data available include numeric information from sensors, product-specific numeric information such as molecular weight and area under peak from gel permeation chromatography (GPC) analysis of the product, and additional information from the GPC in the form of variances in expected shapes of traces. The plant also uses univariate statistical methods for data analysis of numeric product information. 

The basic wood densities (dry) for different species were obtained from Ref. [36]. A basic density value obtained from the weighted average of the densities of each site s species was used for the species that for various reasons could not be identified. For estimation of SOC (soil organic carbon), equation (6) was used [30]. For data analysis, the nonparametric type test was chosen. We used the INFOSTAT software, and a value of 0.05 was considered significant. 

Figure 9. Data reduction and data analysis in EXAFS spectroscopy. (A) EXAFS spectrum x(k) versus k after background removal. (B) The solid curve is the weighted EXAFS spectrum k3x(k) versus k (after multiplying (k) by k3). The dashed curve represents an attempt to fit the data with a two-distance model by the curve-fitting (CF) technique. (C) Fourier transformation (FT) of the weighted EXAFS spectrum in momentum (k) space into the radial distribution function p3(r ) versus r in distance space. The dashed curve is the window function used to filter the major peak in Fourier filtering (FF). (D) Fourier-filtered EXAFS spectrum k3x (k) versus k (solid curve) of the major peak in (C) after back-transforming into k space. The dashed curve attempts to fit the filtered data with a single-distance model. (From Ref. 25, with permission.)...

Data Analysis. (Arlett et al., 1989). A weighted analysis of variance is performed on the mutation frequencies, as the variation in the number of mutations per plate usually increases as the mean increases. Each dose of test compound is compared with the corresponding vehicle control by means of a one-sided Dunnett s test and, in addition, the mutation frequencies are examined to see whether there is a linear relationship with dose. 

Wet methods are those that involve physical separation and classical chemical reaction stoichiometry, but no instrumentation beyond an analytical balance. Instrumental methods are those that involve additional high-tech electronic instrumentation, often complex hardware and software. Common analytical strategy operations include sampling, sampling preparation, data analysis, and calculations. Also, weight or volume data are required for almost all methods as part of the analysis method itself. 

If, however, the standard deviations, ayij, for all elements of the matrix Y are known or can be estimated reliably, it does make sense to use this information in the data analysis. Then, instead of the sum of squares, it is the sum of all appropriately weighted and squared residuals that has to be minimised. This is known as the chi-square or x2 -fitting. If the data matrix Y has the dimensions nsxnl, %2 is defined by... 

Three critical points can be made in this analysis. The first one is located at the "thorough look Instruction. This examination in reality involves a critical analysis of the experimental protocol and the data produced from it. For example, it was quite evident in collecting the standards data from DATASET D that values were well out of line with previous determinations. See other DATASETS, especially DATASET E in the Appendix, for confirmation of this idea. The second critical point is at the "Preparation of the problem Instruction. In this case hetero-scedasticity must be removed before submitting the data to regression analysis. Weighted least squares of several types (11) and power transformations (10) can be used. The third critical point... 

Bartlett et alP exposed 194 young rats (3-4 weeks old) continuously to ozone at 0.2 ppm for 28-32 days and observed that there was no effect on respiratory frequency, weight gain, tail-length increase, and external appearance in the ozone-exposed group and that, although both ozone-exposed and control groups looked healthy, 12 ozone-exposed and 11 control animals had pneumonitis at the end of the exposure period. The results with the latter animals were discarded in the later data analysis. 

Data analysis includes mass fractions of unreacted monomers and species of similar molecular weight. 

The Raman spectrum of the reaction product of titanocene pentasulfide and dichlorodiselane shows the presence of l,2,3-Se3Sj as the main species (sea Fig. 3). The normal coordinate treatment using a modified Urey-Bradley force field with 12 independent force constants resulted in a complete assignment of the spectrum and in a very good agreement between the observed and calculated wave numbers. The composition of the phase as determined from the HPLC data, molecular weight measurement, and selenium analysis agrees with the vibrational analysis.
