Matrix of measured responses

The individual responses in a data set are conveniently collected in a matrix of measured responses, Y... 

As an example, suppose that in a set of five experiments, the first and second are replicates, and the third and fifth are replicates. If the matrix of measured responses is... 

The next column lists the factor combinations (again, each symbol is equivalent to a description of the factor combination represented by the design point). The last column gives the response and is equivalent to the matrix of measured responses, Y ... 

Audit the test stations that may be useful for the program ensure that the necessary information (configuration, temperatures) is available and correct, and that the configuration complies with the guidelines established. Where necessary, modifications should be made to bring the stations into conformance with the guidelines. The transfer standards are then tested in the different dewars and with the selected test stations - so we have a three-dimensional matrix of measured responsivities - perhaps two standard detectors, four dewars, and three test sets.

Obtaining the PCA Scores. In PCA, the matrix of measured instrumental responses of I calibration samples R (/ x J) (often column-centred or autoscaled) is decomposed into the product of two smaller matrices ... 

While PCA can reveal structure in a set of data viewed in isolation, PLS can be used to disclose structure in the data in view of external information [19-21]. The amphetamine example was analysed by PCA above without using the knowledge about the treatment that each subject received. In PLS, such information can be included. This corresponds to tilting the PC so that the score vector better describes the relation between the treatment and the changes in the measured responses. In Figures 6.12 and 6.17, the PLS scores of the BHT data and the amphetamine data are plotted, respectively. The strategy used in PLS is to add a new matrix, Y, in addition to the matrix of measurements X. The matrix Y contains external information such as treatment of each... 

From the design matrix, D, in scaled variables, construct the model matrix, X, by augmenting D with a column of ones and columns for the cross-products (and the squares). Let 0 be the vector of model parameter to be estimated, and let y be the vector of measured responses obtained by running the experiments in D, and let e be the vector of errors such that e = [Cj e2—" n]- The results can be summarized as... 

The responses are used to create a final, commonly accepted matrix of measurements reflecting the ten Objectives of the Code s Chapter 10, whereby Objective 10.9 is stiU under discussion. Most other inconsistencies could be adjusted by reaching a consensus on the degree of implementation E according to Table 12. The ordered Guttman vectors are shown in Table 16.

X.pred is a matrix that contains in each row the set of predictors for the corresponding experiment, y is the vector of measured response values. fun.name is the name of a function. 

Sources of Error. pH electrodes are subject to fewer iaterfereaces and other types of error than most potentiometric ionic-activity sensors, ie, ion-selective electrodes (see Electro analytical techniques). However, pH electrodes must be used with an awareness of their particular response characteristics, as weU as the potential sources of error that may affect other components of the measurement system, especially the reference electrode. Several common causes of measurement problems are electrode iaterferences and/or fouling of the pH sensor, sample matrix effects, reference electrode iastabiHty, and improper caHbration of the measurement system (12). 

Thus, the error in the solution vector is expected to be large for an ill-conditioned problem and small for a well-conditioned one. In parameter estimation, vector b is comprised of a linear combination of the response variables (measurements) which contain the error terms. Matrix A does not depend explicitly on the response variables, it depends only on the parameter sensitivity coefficients which depend only on the independent variables (assumed to be known precisely) and on the estimated parameter vector k which incorporates the uncertainty in the data. As a result, we expect most of the uncertainty in Equation 8.29 to be present in Ab. 

As we mentioned in Chapter 2, the user specified matrix Qj should be equal to the inverse of COV(e,). However, in many occasions we have very little information about the nature of the error in the measurements. In such cases, we have found it very useful to use Q, as a normalization matrix to make the measured responses of the same order of magnitude. If the measurements do not change substantially from data point to data point, we can use a constant Q. The simplest form of Q that we have found adequate is to use a diagonal matrix whose jth element in the diagonal is the inverse of the squared mean response of the j variable,... 

If however the measurements of a response variable change over several orders of magnitude, it is better to use the non-constant diagonal weighting matrix Qj given below... 

Step 6. Based on the additional measurement of the response variables, estimate the parameter vector and its covariance matrix. 

Insulin release from the insuhn-loaded matrix was measured in response to alternating changes of glucose concentration when 150 mg of an insulin-loaded matrix was introduced to 100 mL of PBS at 37°C. The amount of insulin released was measured by taking 1 mL of the release medium at a specific time and immersing the matrix in a fresh medium. Insulin was determined by reverse-phase HPLC, using a Resolvex Cis (Fisher Scientific) and 0.01 N HCl/acetonitrile (80/20-50/50, v/v%) mobile phase over 30 min at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. The eluate was monitored by optical absorption at 210 nm. 

It can be shown that if the uncertainties associated with the measurements of the response are approximately normally distributed (see Equation 3.8), then parameter estimates obtained from these measurements are also normally distributed. The standard deviation of the estimate of a parameter will be called the standard uncertainty, s, of the parameter estimate (it is usually called the standard error ) and can be calculated from the matrix if an estimate of is available. 

The total sum of squares, SSj, is defined as the sum of squares of the measured responses. It may be calculated easily using matrix techniques. 

Some of the variation of the responses about their mean is caused by variation of the factors. The effect of the factors as they appear in the model can be measured by the differences between the predicted responses (y,) and the mean response (y,). For this purpose, it is convenient to define a matrix of factor contributions, F. 

There are different concepts for the calibration. External calibration uses the measurement of separate samples containing known amounts of analyte and we compare the signal from both, the calibration sample and our unknown sample. This method requires that the differences in the matrix of sample and calibration sample does not significantly influence the response. The use of an internal...
