Multiway and particularly three-way analysis of data has become an important subject in chemometrics. This is the result of the development of hyphenated detection methods (such as in combined chromatography-spectrometry) and yields three-way data structures the ways of which are defined by samples, retention times and wavelengths. In multivariate process analysis, three-way data are obtained from various batches, quality measures and times of observation [55]. In image analysis, the three modes are formed by the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the pixels within a frame and the successive frames that have been recorded. In this rapidly developing field one already finds an extensive body of literature and only a brief outline can be given here. For a more comprehensive reading and a discussion of practical applications we refer to the reviews by Geladi [56], Smilde [57] and Henrion [58]. 

Since reproducibility of the flow system is critical to obtaining reproducibility, one approach has been to substitute lower-performance columns (50-to 100-p packings) operated at higher temperatures.1 Often, improvements in detection and data reduction can substitute for resolution. Chemometric principles are a way to sacrifice chromatographic efficiency but still obtain the desired chemical information. An example of how meaningful information can be derived indirectly from chromatographic separation is the use of system or vacancy peaks to monitor chemical reactions such as the titration of aniline and the hydrolysis of aspirin to salicylic acid.18... 

The amount of information, which can be extracted from a spectrum, depends essentially on the attainable spectral or time resolution and on the detection sensitivity that can be achieved. Derivative spectra can be used to enhance differences among spectra, to resolve overlapping bands in qualitative analysis and, most importantly, to reduce the effects of interference from scattering, matrix, or other absorbing compounds in quantitative analysis. Chemometric techniques make powerful tools for processing the vast amounts of information produced by spectroscopic techniques, as a result of which the performance is significantly... 

If we consider only a few of the general requirements for the ideal polymer/additive analysis techniques (e.g. no matrix interferences, quantitative), then it is obvious that the choice is much restricted. Elements of the ideal method might include LD and MS, with reference to CRMs. Laser desorption and REMPI-MS are moving closest to direct selective sampling tandem mass spectrometry is supreme in identification. Direct-probe MS may yield accurate masses and concentrations of the components contained in the polymeric material. Selective sample preparation, efficient separation, selective detection, mass spectrometry and chemometric deconvolution techniques are complementary rather than competitive techniques. For elemental analysis, LA-ICP-ToFMS scores high.

The NIR spectra contain less structural information than the corresponding IR spectra, since only the overtone absorptions of X-Fl (X = C, N, O) are detected. Using chemometric approaches has, however, enlarged the applications of this method, particularly for quantitative and classification analyses. 

Response Above, I described the situation as we see it, regarding the traps that both experienced and novice users of these very sophisticated algorithms can fall into. Keep in mind the pedagogy involved as well as the chemometrics by suitable choice of values for the constituent , the peaks at the nonlinear wavelengths could have been made to appear equally spaced, and the linear wavelengths appear stretched out at the higher values. The clarity of the nonlinearity is due to the presentation, not to any fundamental property of the data, and this clarity does not normally exist in real data. How is someone to detect this, especially if not looking for it Attempts to address this issue have been made in the past (see [5]) with results that in our opinion are mixed, at best. And that simulated data was also noise-free. 

For environmental analysis or other fields where flexibility in analyte detection and/or the possibility to record whole spectra is essential, the use of spectrometers is inevitable. Recording full spectra also allows using chemometric methods to extract information from these spectra for multi-component analysis43. 

Since in many applications minor absorption changes have to be detected against strong, interfering background absorptions of the matrix, advanced chemometric data treatment, involving techniques such as wavelet analysis, principle component analysis (PCA), partial least square (PLS) methods and artificial neural networks (ANN), is a prerequisite.

All regression methods aim at the minimization of residuals, for instance minimization of the sum of the squared residuals. It is essential to focus on minimal prediction errors for new cases—the test set—but not (only) for the calibration set from which the model has been created. It is relatively easy to create a model— especially with many variables and eventually nonlinear features—that very well fits the calibration data however, it may be useless for new cases. This effect of overfitting is a crucial topic in model creation. Definition of appropriate criteria for the performance of regression models is not trivial. About a dozen different criteria— sometimes under different names—are used in chemometrics, and some others are waiting in the statistical literature for being detected by chemometricians a basic treatment of the criteria and the methods how to estimate them is given in Section 4.2. 

With the appearance of chemometric approach, novel hyphenation instrument configurations and the improvement of limit of detections and quantifycations, analyte description and characterization are usually not the rate-limiting step in bioanalysis. 

Fort he determination of preservatives and sweeteners in soft drinks or fruit juices LC analysis with UV detection is widely used. The sample pretreatment, prior to LC analysis, often consists only of degassing, filtration and dilution of the Uqirid [2]. Sometimes a Uqirid-Uqitid extraction, suitable not only for soft drinks but also for more complex matrices, is appUed [3]. Chemometric methods appUed to overlapped spectra offer the advantage of minimizing or eliminating sample preparation by allowing to simirltaneoirsly determining one or more analytes in relatively complex matrices. 

Chemometric quality assurance via laboratory and method intercomparisons of standardized test data sets, finally, is becoming recognized as essential for establishing the validity of detection decisions and estimated detection limits, especially when treating multidimensional data with sophisticated algorithms including several chemical components. 

Finally, the development of chemometrics over the past 20 years has also aided in the use of UV-vis technology for more complicated chemical matrices than was possible at earlier times. Chemometrics allows large quantities of spectral data to be analyzed and reduced to a useful bit of information such as the concentration of one or more chemical species. In addition, through analysis of residuals, it is possible to detect when something unexpected occurs in a process. 

Quinn et al. followed the reaction of a nucleoside with trityl chloride in pyridine at 50 °C on the laboratory scale. This reaction is the first step of an industrially significant process. The UV-vis spectra were analyzed with chemometric analysis where automatic window factor analysis (WFA) yielded better results than PLS. A reactive intermediate, a solvated carbocation, was identified that had not been found with HPLC (quenching upon aliquot dilution) or NIR, respectively. Small, sudden process upsets could be detected.
