Sections 9A.2-9A.6 introduce different multivariate data analysis methods, including Multiple Linear Regression (MLR), Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Principal Component Regression (PCR) and Partial Least Squares regression (PLS).

PCR is a combination of PCA and MLR, which are described in Sections 9.4.4 and 9.4.3 respectively. First, a principal component analysis is carried out which yields a loading matrix P and a scores matrix T as described in Section 9.4.4. For the ensuing MLR only PCA scores are used for modeling Y The PCA scores are inherently imcorrelated, so they can be employed directly for MLR. A more detailed description of PCR is given in Ref. [5. ... 

The selection of relevant effects for the MLR in PCR can be quite a complex task. A straightforward approach is to take those PCA scores which have a variance above a certain threshold. By varying the number of PCA components used, the... 

Multiple linear regression (MLR) models a linear relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. 

The first identified complexes of unsubstituted thiazole were described by Erlenmeyer and Schmid (461) they were obtained by dissolution in absolute alcohol of both thiazole and an anhydrous cobalt(II) salt (Table 1-62). Heating the a-CoCri 2Th complex in chloroform gives the 0 isomer, which on standirtg at room temperature reverses back to the a form. According to Hant2sch (462), these isomers correspond to a cis-trans isomerism. Several complexes of 2,2 -(183) and 4,4 -dithiazolyl (184) were also prepared and found similar to pyridyl analogs (185) (Table 1-63). Zn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) chelates of 2.4-/>is(2-pyridyl)thiazole (186) and (2-pyridylamino)-4-(2-pyridy])thiazole (187) have been investigated. The formation constants for species MLr, and ML -" (L = 186 or 187) have been calculated from data obtained by potentiometric, spectrophotometric, and partition techniques. 

With appropriate caUbration the complex characteristic impedance at each resonance frequency can be calculated and related to the complex shear modulus, G, of the solution. Extrapolations to 2ero concentration yield the intrinsic storage and loss moduH [G ] and [G"], respectively, which are molecular properties. In the viscosity range of 0.5-50 mPa-s, the instmment provides valuable experimental data on dilute solutions of random coil (291), branched (292), and rod-like (293) polymers. The upper limit for shearing frequency for the MLR is 800 H2. High frequency (20 to 500 K H2) viscoelastic properties can be measured with another instmment, the high frequency torsional rod apparatus (HFTRA) (294). 

Most of the 2D QSAR methods are based on graph theoretic indices, which have been extensively studied by Randic [29] and Kier and Hall [30,31]. Although these structural indices represent different aspects of molecular structures, their physicochemical meaning is unclear. Successful applications of these topological indices combined with multiple linear regression (MLR) analysis are summarized in Ref. 31. On the other hand, parameters derived from various experiments through chemometric methods have also been used in the study of peptide QSAR, where partial least square (PLS) [32] analysis has been employed [33]. 

We will explore the two major families of chemometric quantitative calibration techniques that are most commonly employed the Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) techniques, and the Factor-Based Techniques. Within each family, we will review the various methods commonly employed, learn how to develop and test calibrations, and how to use the calibrations to estimate, or predict, the properties of unknown samples. We will consider the advantages and limitations of each method as well as some of the tricks and pitfalls associated with their use. While our emphasis will be on quantitative analysis, we will also touch on how these techniques are used for qualitative analysis, classification, and discriminative analysis. 

Column-Wise Data Organization for MLR and PCR Data Absorbance Matrix... 

When we measure the spectrum of an unknown sample, we assemble it into an absorbance matrix. If we are measuring a single unknown sample, our unknown absorbance matrix will have only one column (for MLR or PCR) or one row (for PLS). If we measure the spectra of a number of unknown samples, we can assemble them together into a single unknown absorbance matrix just as we assemble training or validation spectra. 

Classical least-squares (CLS), sometimes known as K-matrix calibration, is so called because, originally, it involved the application of multiple linear regression (MLR) to the classical expression of the Beer-Lambert Law of spectroscopy ...

Boger et al. [50] analyzed the performance of MLRs with internal density-driven circulation (IMLR). They found the gas-hquid mass transfer superior and the overall mass transfer performance comparable with those for slurry reactors.

Sufficient engineering data for designing reactors for three-phase processes are available. A column reactor with gravitational liquid downflow was industrially proven. An MLR with forced liquid downflow with ejector was also well studied. Dedicated catalysts for particular processes must be, however, worked out. 

With the development of accurate computational methods for generating 3D conformations of chemical structures, QSAR approaches that employ 3D descriptors have been developed to address the problems of 2D QSAR techniques, that is, their inability to distinguish stereoisomers. Examples of 3D QSAR include molecular shape analysis (MSA) [26], distance geometry,and Voronoi techniques [27]. The MSA method utilizes shape descriptors and MLR analysis, whereas the other two approaches apply atomic refractivity as structural descriptor and the solution of mathematical inequalities to obtain the quantitative relationships. These methods have been applied to study structure-activity relationships of many data sets by Hopfinger and Crippen, respectively. Perhaps the most popular example of the 3D QSAR is the com-... 

Since that time thousands of QSARs, covering a wide and diverse range of end points, have been published [9] most of these have used MLR, but numerous other statistical techniques have also been used, such as partial least squares, principal component analysis, artificial neural networks, decision trees, and discriminant analysis [f4].
