History of plotting in chemical three-way analysis

Neither the psychometricians nor the chemometricians have used the full potential of plotting and visualizing their data as evidenced in the literature. Tables 8.1 and 8.2 can be a source of inspiration for future uses of graphics. 

The scree plots for the eigenvalues can also be shown cumulatively because they add up to 100 % of the sum of squares (%SS). Alternatively, the percentage of the sum of 

Although the scree plot was defined for two-way analysis, it can also be used for showing component sizes for three-way models. The cumulative scree plot can show the variance explained for PARAFAC models of increasing rank. The components in the models change, though, when the effective three-way rank is increased. The first loading is different in all models of different rank. A scree plot for the peat example was shown in Chapter 7,
