Statistics and data

Figure 10.24a and the allosteric model in Figure 10.24b. The circled data points were changed very slightly to cause an F-test to prefer either model for each respective model, illustrating the fallacy of relying on computer fitting of data and statistical tests to determine molecular mechanism. As discussed in Chapter 7, what is required to delineate orthosteric versus allosteric...

Classes of Estimation Methods Table 1.1.1 summarizes the property estimation methods considered in this book. Quantitative property-property relationships (QPPRs) are defined as mathematical relationships that relate the query property to one or several properties. QPPRs are derived theoretically using physicochemical principles or empirically using experimental data and statistical techniques. By contrast, quantitative structure-property relationships (QSPRs) relate the molecular structure to numerical values indicating physicochemical properties. Since the molecular structure is an inherently qualitative attribute, structural information has first to be expressed as a numerical values, termed molecular descriptors or indicators before correlations can be evaluated. Molecular descriptors are derived from the compound structure (i.e., the molecular graph), using structural information, fundamental or empirical physicochemical constants and relationships, and stereochemcial principles. The molecular mass is an example of a molecular descriptor. It is derived from the molecular structure and the atomic masses of the atoms contained in the molecule. An important chemical principle involved in property estimation is structural similarity. The fundamental notion is that the property of a compound depends on its structure and that similar chemical stuctures (similarity appropriately defined) behave similarly in similar environments. 

A detailed summary of extant sH phase equilibria data and statistical predictions up to 1996 is in the doctoral dissertation of Mehta (1996). Since 1996, more than 30 new sH phase equilibria data sets have been reported, notably from the laboratories of Peters in Delft, the Netherlands Tohidi in Edinburgh, Scotland Mori in Yokohama, Japan and Ohgaki in Osaka, Japan. The different components that form sH hydrate are given in Table 2.7.

Tables of industry data and statistics used in this book include the latest numbers available at the time of printing, generally through the end of 2007. In a few cases, the only complete data available was for earlier years. 

The application of these schemes illustrates how sublethal toxicity tests can be used to estimate the potential for effects in the receiving water environment. Both ZPE and LTF use laboratory sublethal toxicity data and statistically significant field observations for a more comprehensive or weight-of-evidence approach for regulatory monitoring of industrial effluents. 

The major objective in SPC is to use process data and statistical techniques to determine whether the process operation is normal or abnormal. The SPC methodology is based on the fundamental assumption that normal process operation can be characterized by random variations around a mean value. The random variability is caused by the cumulative effects of a number of largely unavoidable phenomena such as electrical measurement noise, turbulence, and random fluctuations in feedstock or catalyst preparation. If this situation exists, the process is said to be in a state of statistical control (or in control), and the control chart measurements tend to be normally distributed about the mean value. By contrast, frequent control chart violations would indicate abnormal process behavior or an out-of-control situation. Then a search would be initiated to attempt to identify the assignable cause or the. special cause of the abnormal behavior...

If the total salt content of a solution is high or if only small amounts of sample are available the injection technique may be used. If a piston burette is used for the injection, individual errors cannot be avoided, and reproducibility becomes somewhat poorer than with continuous aspiration. Also, the uncertainty of the volume measurement with small injection volumes becomes noticeable in the reproducibility. In Table 4 the data and statistical values of a simultaneous copper and nickel determination are shown. 

All chemical reactions are accompanied either by an absorption or evolution of energy, which usually manifests itself as heat. It is possible to determine this amount of heat—and hence the temperature and product composition—from very basic principles. Spectroscopic data and statistical calculations permit one to determine the internal energy of a substance. The internal energy of a given substance is found to be dependent upon its temperature, pressure, and state and is independent of the means by which the state is attained. Likewise the change in internal energy, A , of a system that results from any physical change or chemical... 

We have presented trace element data and statistical analyses using these data. The data base needs to be expanded with analyses of samples from the many additional known localities in North America. Other statistical techniques, such as the one used by Sigleo (2) for turquoise, will also be examined. It appears that the discriminant function d is an important tool for archaeologists in provenance studies and that K-means cluster analysis can be very helpful in studying the singularity of trace element patterns for given localities. 

The Chemical and Rubber Division of BDSA is interested in collecting and disseminating data and statistics concerning the chemical industry. Very often it has data, some of them unpublished, which are available for the asking, except for emergency periods when release of statistics could be a security problem.

Another major benefit that is often overlooked is the identification of factors that do not affect process or variability. These factors can then be set to their most economical level, or specifications may be relaxed. Data and statistical analysis collected during the experiment will support these actions.
