Purpose Take an existing data file that comprises at least a column X (independent variable) and a column Y (dependent variable). Choose either a function or real data to model statistically similar data sets. 

A homogeneity index or significance coefficienf has been proposed to describe area or spatial homogeneity characteristics of solids based on data evaluation using chemometrical tools, such as analysis of variance, regression models, statistics of stochastic processes (time series analysis) and multivariate data analysis (Singer and... 

Higuchi and Lachman [122] pioneered the approach of improving drug stability by complexation. They showed that aromatic esters can be stabilized in aqueous solutions in the presence of xanthines such as caffeine. Thus, the half-lives of benzocaine, procaine hydrochloride, and tetracaine are increased by approximately two- to fivefold in the presence of 2.5% caffeine. This increase in stability is attributed to the formation of a less reactive complex between caffeine and the aromatic ester. Professor K. A. Connors has written a comprehensive textbook that describes methods for the measurement of binding constants for complex formation in solution—along with discussions of pertinent thermodynamics, modeling statistics,...

Rational air pollution control strategies require the establishment of reliable relationships between air quality and emission (Chapter 5). Diffusion models for inert (nonreacting) agents have long been used in air pollution control and in the study of air pollution effects. Major advances have been made in incorporating the complex chemical reaction schemes of photochemical smog in diffusion models for air basins. In addition to these deterministic models, statistical relationships that are based on aerometric data and that relate oxidant concentrations to emission measurements have been determined. 

Data used to describe variation are ideally representative of some population of risk assessment interest. Representativeness was a focus of an earlier workshop on selection of distributions (USEPA 1998). The role of problem formulation is emphasized. In case of representativeness issues, some adjustment of the data may be possible, perhaps based on a mechanistic or statistical model. Statistical random-effects models may be useful in situations where the model includes distributions among as well as within populations. However, simple approaches may be adequate, depending on the assessment tier, such as an attempt to characterize quantitatively the consequences of assuming the data to be representative. 

Model statistics include R, adjusted R and root mean squared error. Parameter statistics are the estimated regression coefficients and associated statistics.

When the standard curve has been established and the LLOQ and ULOQ validated, the assessment of unknown concentrations by extrapolation is not allowed beyond the validated range. The most accurate and precise estimates of concentration is in the linear portion of the curve even if acceptable quantitative results can be obtained up to the boundary of the curve using a quadratic model. For a linear model, statistic calculations suggest a minimum of six concentrations evenly placed along the entire range assayed in duplicate [5,7,8].

All obsidian samples were analyzed as unmodified samples they were washed in the field. Each sample was placed in the sample chamber with the flattest part of the surface facing the x-ray beam. All samples were at least 3 cm in length with varying widths and thicknesses. The width of the sample did not produce errors when comparing obsidian artifact to potential obsidian source. Accuracy errors result from inaccuracies of the regression model, statistical error of the calibration spectra, inaccuracy of the intensity of the calibration curve and the energy calibration. When the error is taken into account, the relative analytical uncertainty for this project is less than seven percent with this portable XRF unit (26) ... 

Kousa et al. [20] classified exposure models as statistical, mathematical and mathematical-stochastic models. Statistical models are based on the historical data and capture the past statistical trend of pollutants [21]. The mathematical modelling, also called deterministic modelling, involves application of emission inventories, combined with air quality and population activity modelling. The stochastic approach attempts to include a treatment of the inherent uncertainties of the model [22],...

The term chemometrics was hrst coined in 1971 to describe the growing use of mathematical models, statistical principles, and other logic-based methods in the held of chemistry and, in particular, the held of analytical chemistry. Chemometrics is an interdisciplinary held that involves multivariate statistics, mathematical modeling, computer science, and analytical chemistry. Some major application areas of chemometrics include (1) calibration, validation, and signihcance testing (2) optimization of chemical measurements and experimental procedures and (3) the extraction of the maximum of chemical information from analytical data.
