Matrix Terminology

Up to this point, we have defined essential matrix terminology and discussed basic matrix operations. In this secrion, we will define what is meant by a determinant of a matrix. Let us consider the solution to the fiillowing set of simultaneous equations ... 

Analytical chemists converse using terminology that conveys specific meaning to other analytical chemists. To discuss and learn analytical chemistry you must first understand its language. You are probably already familiar with some analytical terms, such as "accuracy and "precision, but you may not have placed them in their appropriate analytical context. Other terms, such as "analyte and "matrix, may be less familiar. This chapter introduces many important terms routinely used by analytical chemists. Becoming comfortable with these terms will make the material in the chapters that follow easier to read and understand. 

Every discipline has its own terminology. Your success in studying analytical chemistry will improve if you master the language used by analytical chemists. Be sure that you understand the difference between an analyte and its matrix, a technique and a method, a procedure and a protocol, and a total analysis technique and a concentration technique. 

In order to describe completely the state of triaxial (as opposed to biaxial) stress in an anisotropic material, the compliance matrix will have 36 terms. The reader is referred to the more advanced composites texts listed in the Bibliography if these more complex states of stress are of interest. It is conventional to be consistent and use the terminology of the more general analysis even when one is considering the simpler plane stress situation. Hence, the compliance matrix [5] has the terms... 

The basic terminology of fiber-reinforced composite laminates will be introduced in the following paragraphs. For a lamina, the configurations and functions of the constituent materials, fibers and matrix, will be described. The characteristics of the fibers and matrix are then discussed. Finally, a laminate is defined to round out this introduction to the characteristics of fiber-reinforced composite laminates. 

We now have enough information to find our Scores matrix and Loadings matrix. First of all the Loadings matrix is simply the right singular values matrix or the V matrix this matrix is referred to as the P matrix in principal components analysis terminology. The Scores matrix is calculated as... 

Note the Scores matrix is referred to as the T matrix in principal components analysis terminology. Let us look at what we have completed so far by showing the SVD calculations in MATLAB as illustrated in Table 22-1. 

Throughout this work, familiarity will be assumed with basic mathematical notation and terminology of quantum chemistry and matrix algebra at the level of a standard text, such as I. N. Levine, Quantum Chemistry, 5th edn. (Englewood Cliffs, NJ, Prentice Hall, 2000) or J. R. Barrante, Applied Mathematics for Physical Chemistry, 2nd edn. (Upper Saddle River, NJ, Prentice Hall, 1998).

The mean response can be subtracted from each of the individual responses to produce the so-called responses corrected for the mean. This terminology is unfortunate because it wrongly implies that the original data was somehow incorrect responses adjusted for the mean might be a better description, but we will use the traditional terminology here. It will be convenient to define a matrix of responses corrected for the mean, C. 

The second difference is that the correlations between samples are calculated rather than the correlations between elements. In the terminology of Rozett and Peterson ( ), the correlation between elements would be an R analysis while the correlation between samples would be a Q analysis. Thus, the applications of factor analysis discussed above are R analyses. Imbrle and Van Andel ( 6) and Miesch (J 7) have found Q-mode analysis more useful for interpreting geological data. Rozett and Peterson (J ) compared the two methods for mass spectrometric data and concluded that the Q-mode analysis provided more significant informtlon. Thus, a Q-mode analysis on the correlation about the origin matrix for correlations between samples has been made (18,19) for aerosol composition data from Boston and St. Louis. 

This displays the convention, tacitly assumed later, that the positive direction of a step corresponds to the advancement from left to right of the stated chemical equation. The matrix of stoichiometric coefficients for these reactions is shown in Table II. The diagonalization of the matrix in Table II gives the matrix in Table III, from which the steady-state mechanism is S + 2s2 + 2s3 + 2s4. In Horiuti s terminology the stoichiometric numbers are 1 for Sj and 2 for s2, s3, and s4. 

We begin by reviewing perhaps the most fundamental selection rule in quantum chemistry. Let the functions f Vi form a basis of partner functions for irrep a, and similarly ipj for irrep /3. Let O denote an operator that commutes with all elements of the group Q O is a totally symmetric operator in the terminology of Sec. 1.4. At this stage, it should be noted, our basis functions can be one- or many-electron functions. Consider now the matrix element... 

There are some conventions and terminology that are common to all statistical data evaluation approaches. As the first step the input matrix X is organized such that the independent variables (compositions) are arranged in rows from 1 to t and the preprocessed signals from sensors 1 to m are entered in the columns. 

In his classic paper on electric networks, G. Kirchhoff[38] (1847) implicitly established the celebrated Matrix-Tree-Theorem which, in modern terminology, expresses the complexity (i.e., the number of spanning trees) of any finite graph G as the determinant of a matrix which can easily be obtained from the adjacency matrix of G. Simple proofs were given by R. L. Brooks, C. A. B. Smith, A. H. Stone and W. T. Tutte [39] (1940), H. Trent [40] (1954), and H. Hutschenreuther [41] (1967) (for relations between the complexity and the spectrum of a graph see Ref. [36] pp 38, 39, 49, 50). 

Matrix A will be used more often than A. Therefore it would be more correct to introduce this matrix immediately and to designate it as "atomic rather than "molecular , but we will adopt the conventional approach. Historically, the introduction of the designations and terminology used is substantiated by the relationship between vector columns of molecular M and atomic Ma weights... 

In common with other solid materials the determination of element speciation in soils presents a number of difficulties. Firstly, direct determination of speciation in the solid material, without prior separation of the species from the solid matrix, is generally limited to major component elements since few of the direct techniques available are sensitive enough for trace element studies. Resort to separation or extraction of element species presents the usual problem of maintaining the speciation unchanged during the extraction or separation procedure. Despite these difficulties, speciation studies related to nutrient element availability to crops have been a major topic in soil science for more than half a century, uncategorised, however, as speciation until the relatively recent adoption of this terminology. 

First a few words on the terminology. When 0 states form dimers their signal disappears from the EPR spectrum because of spin pairing. In a predominantly ionic host matrix... 

Most chemometricians prefer inverse methods, but most traditional analytical chemistry texts introduce the classical approach to calibration. It is important to recognise that there are substantial differences in terminology in the literature, the most common problem being the distinction between V and y variables. In many areas of analytical chemistry, concentration is denoted by V, the response (such as a spectroscopic peak height) by y However, most workers in the area of multivariate calibration have first been introduced to regression methods via spectroscopy or chromatography whereby the experimental data matrix is denoted as 6X , and the concentrations or predicted variables by y In this paper we indicate the experimentally observed responses by V such as spectroscopic absorbances of chromatographic peak areas, but do not use 6y in order to avoid confusion.
