A "GDS" (for Graphical Data Structure) (12) database which holds in vector form two-dimensional representations which may be drawn by various plotting devices. 

Real polymers require more elaborate systems of springs and dash-pots to describe them. This approach of polymer rheology can be developed to provide criteria for design with structural polymers. At present, this is rarely done instead, graphical data (showing the creep extension after time t at stress a and temperature T) are used to provide an estimate of the likely deformation during the life of the structure. 

Sometimes the interpretation of analytical data does not need the deepest mathematical analysis but it is sufficient to get an impression on the structure of the data. Although the basic idea of graphical data interpretation is ancient (e.g., Brinton [1914]), the fundamentals of modern explorative data analysis (EDA) has been developed in the 1960s (Tukey [1962, 1977]). 

Module 1, Determination of Chemical and Structural Information on the Sample. The task of Module 1 is to provide non-chromato-graphic data for analytes prior to specification of the chromatographic method. Data bases have been developed for pK values of organic molecules, isoelectric points of proteins, and fluorescence spectral properties of organic molecules. 

The most important method for exploratory analysis of multivariate data is reduction of the dimensionality and graphical representation of the data. The mainly applied technique is the projection of the data points onto a suitable plane, spanned by the first two principal component vectors. This type of projection preserves (in mathematical terms) a maximum of information on the data structure. This method, which is essentially a rotation of the coordinate system, is also referred to as eigenvector-projection or Karhunen-Loeve- projection (ref. 8). 

The data set B in Table 3.3 contains 3 features (p = 3) and 10 objects (n= 10). The data structure is not evident when the original data are represented in matrix form. Figures 8a and 8b illustrate data with plots using two pairs of features (feature/feature-plots) they allow an insight into the data structure. These graphical illustrations would become too complex for a higher number of features. 

This capability is particularly useful during a run. Subgoal compounds generated as clauses and incorporated in the problem solving tree can be displayed on the screen in graphical format for user inspection. A complex data structure in the form of a doubly linked list is used by XTSYN to convert the molecule representations from one form to another (11). 

The total information available to the scientist, in terms of chemical structure and biological activity, may be about the same in each type of study. The methods that are appropriate to use will depend very much on the amount of specific information that is available, either about ligand or receptor structure or about biological mechanism. Thus, statistical and data-analytic methods are most appropriate when specific information is lacking. Molecular graphics and structure-analytic methods are more appropriate when specific information is available. Recently, some excellent books have appeared, which discuss the present state of SAR and CAMD (11,12,13).
