Data representation

NMR data can be shovm in a number of different formats. In some cases, a table containing shifts, multiplicities, integrals, etc. may suffice to describe the information contained in a simple 1-D NMR spectrum. In other cases, however, we may wish to show a colored contour plot to help capture the complex nature of a particular 2-D NMR spectrum. 

Assuming we have employed some apodization function and baseline correction in massaging the data set to be as aesthetically pleasing as possible, we may still be confronted with a number of decisions to be made regarding the depiction of our data. For 1-D data sets, we 

If we wish to include peak-picking information above the 1-D NMR spectrum, we may choose to reduce the vertical intensity of the plot to allow room for that extra information (either in Hz or ppm, depending on need). 

For 2-D NMR data sets, we normally generate monochrome contour plots. Just as a topographical map shows contour lines that denote specific elevations above sea level as a function of longitude and latitude, a 2-D contour plot shows spectrum intensity as a function of the fj and frequency axes. 

If we select a plot threshold that is too low, we will find that the entire region being plotted will contain many more or less random lines, and these lines will distract the eye from the cross peaks of 

Particle size distribution may be characterized in terms of a spread of values in a table, a graphical representation in the form of a histogram (block diagram), or as 

It is possible to graphically present both the density distribution and the sum distribution according to either one of the following mathematical representations (Fig. 16)  

The choice of the method depends both on the purpose for which the representation of the particle size distribution is intended and on the experimental technique by which it is determined. 

The numerical distribution is important for organic pigments this is particularly true for electron microscopy, which affords results in terms of numbers of particles (Sec. 1.5.2.2). 

There is a standardized terminology to designate the mean values for the different particle size distribution representations [2], Among these are (Fig. 17)

The successful appHcation of pattern recognition methods depends on a number of assumptions (14). Obviously, there must be multiple samples from a system with multiple measurements consistendy made on each sample. For many techniques the system should be overdeterrnined the ratio of number of samples to number of measurements should be at least three. These techniques assume that the nearness of points in hyperspace faithfully redects the similarity of the properties of the samples. The data should be arranged in a data matrix with one row per sample, and the entries of each row should be the measurements made on the sample, as shown in Figure 1. The information needed to answer the questions must be implicitly contained in that data matrix, and the data representation must be conformable with the pattern recognition algorithms used. 

Form of Data. Databases can be classified in many ways. One method is by form of data representation, ie, data may be in the form of words, numbers, images, or sounds. The corresponding databases may then be considered to be word-oriented, number-oriented, image-oriented (video), or sound-oriented (audio). Data representation affects file stmctures and software for search and data retrieval. Thus the stmctures and search techniques vary considerably among these four basic classes. Table 1 gives databases as classified by form of data representation. 

This section develops a general approach to data representation and describes some of its features.

These authors clarify these criteria but the essential operation is that the comprehensive separation takes a one-dimensional data representation and through the use of a second separation mechanism converts this to a two-dimensional presentation of the data, as seen in most of the chapters of this book. 

Writing a specification for an operation is very different from writing an implementation. The spec is simply a Boolean expression a relation between the inputs, initial state, final state, and outputs. An implementation would choose a particular algorithmic sequence of steps, select a data representation or specific internal access functions, and work through iterations, branches, and many intermediate states before achieving the final state. Consider the specifications of these operations in contrast to their possible implementations ... 

A good operation specification is much like a test specification. With a little infrastructure support—such as query functions to map from concrete data representations to the abstract attributes used in the specifications and some means to capture initial values of attributes—these operation specifications can be mapped to test code that is executable at runtime, at least during testing or debugging. 

When you build a design from components, you don t need to know how they are represented as objects or as instances of a classes or know how the connectors between components work.2 In federated systems, just as in 00 programs, each component is a collection of software it is chosen for the support it provides of the corresponding business function and uses local data representations best suited to the software. Just as in OO programs, objects must access the information held by other objects, so in a component architecture, components intercommunicate through well-defined interfaces so as to preserve mutual encapsulation.

By slowly increasing the complexity of the models in this fashion, it was hoped that a model could be obtained that was just sufficiently complex to allow an adequate fit of the data. This conscious attempt to select a model that satisfies the criteria of adequate data representation and of minimum number of parameters has been called the principle of parsimonious parameterization. It can be seen from the table that the residual mean squares progressively decrease until entry 4. Then, in spite of the increased model complexity and increased number of parameters, a better fit of the data is not obtained. If the reaction order for the naphthalene decomposition is estimated, as in entry 5, the estimate is not incompatible with the unity order of entry 4. If an additional step is added as in entry 6, no improvement of fit is obtained. Furthermore, the estimated parameter for that step is negative and poorly defined. Entry 7 shows yet another model that is compatible with the data. If further discrimination between these two remaining rival models is desired, additional experiments must be conducted, for example, by using the model discrimination designs discussed later. The critical experiments necessary for this discrimination are by no means obvious (see Section VII). 

The general data representation in Fig. 4.47 does show a rapid rise of (ST/SL) for values of (U ISL) greater than 1, the character of the turbulent flame varies and under the appropriate turbulent variables, it can change as depicted in Fig. 4.48, which essentially comes from Borghi [60] as presented by Abdel-Gayed etal. [61],... 

Since each measured parameter adds a dimension to the data representation, measurement of 35 variables requires the ability to depict relationships in a 35-dimensional space. This is well beyond the two or three dimensions where humans conceptualize comfortably. 

So, we can imagine a future of the representation techniques in which three-dimensional coloured figures with a pleasant (or otherwise) accompaniment are used to represent food analytical data with clear relationships to the food quality and origin. We leave to the reader s imagination the evaluation of the possibilities offered by the other human senses in the field of data representation. 

The enzymes in this Handbook are arranged according to the Enzyme Commission list of enzymes. Some 4,000 different enzymes are covered. Frequently enzymes with very different properties are included under the same EC-number. Although we intend to give a representative overview on the characteristics and variability of each enzyme, the Handbook is not a compendium. The reader will have to go to the primary literature for more detailed information. Naturally it is not possible to cover all the numerous literature references for each enzyme (for some enzymes up to 40,000) if the data representation is to be concise as is intended. 

In practice, the choice of an optimal number of PCs to retain in the PCA model (A) is a rather subjective process, which balances the need to explain as much of the original data as possible with the need to avoid incorporating too much noise into the PCA data representation (overfitting). The issue of overfitting is discussed later in Section 8.3.7.

Specific animals have been cross-referenced to Table 1 by cage numbers. Two sets of high-dosage results are given as well as two sets of dermal values which depict different results in the text. Data representation is as in Figure 1. The 4,4 refers to p,p -dichloro-benzophenone 3,4 (which should read 2,4 ) refers to o,p -dichlorobenzophenone. 

Characteristic of all the methods listed in Tab. 1 -1 is that comprehensive consideration of the data set serves as the method of data representation. In accordance with the manifold capabilities of the methods, it is obvious that some of the methods presented in Tab. 1-1 can also be used for solving other problems. 

The simultaneous treatment of more than ten features or objects leads to a badly ordered arrangement of the data representation.
