More Data Analysis Methods

More specifically, input data analysis methods are similar to input-output methods, but rely on different strategies for extracting the relevant information. With reference to the general expression in Eq. (4), the resulting analyzed or latent variable for all input methods can be represented as... 

Data analysis methods depend upon the level of order in the sample. The degree of order, in turn, depends upon the scale of distance on which the sample is viewed. For example, casein micelles show great variation in size (20 to 300 nm diameter) and so must be treated as a polydisperse system. However, the density variations ( submicelles ) within the whole micelle are much more uniform in size. They can be treated as a quasi-monodisperse system (Stothart and Cebula, 1982) and analyzed in terms of inter-particle interference (Stothart, 1989). 

Advances in computer technology have stimulated the development of data analysis methods that use more than just a few experimental points, such as p - E°, Ep - Ep/2 or -i°xAped>... 

These results validate our data analysis method and, more generally, highlight the utility of metabolomics to identify natural PMIs from complex lipid mixtures. 

Principal component analysis is central to many of the more popular multivariate data analysis methods in chemistry. For example, a classification method based on principal component analysis called SIMCA [69, 70] is by the far the most popular method for describing the class structure of a data set. In SIMCA (soft independent modeling by class analogy), a separate principal component analysis is performed on each class in the data set, and a sufficient number of principal components are retained to account for most of the variation within each class. The number of principal components retained for each class is usually determined directly from the data by a method called cross validation [71] and is often different for each class model. 

In practice, an HTS collection of microclusters around diverse scaffolds provides a certain redundancy in noisy primary HTS data and facilitates the data analysis methods described above to identify active series. Recent library design efforts have shifted away from the optimal diversity approach and focus more on scaffold representation, high quality lead-like (Hann and Oprea, 2004) compounds, synthetic feasibility, and smart focused libraries to provide the best starting points for medicinal chemistry (Davies, Glick, and Jenkins 2006 Schnur, 2008). 

When necessary, the assessor should consider the use of more advanced analysis methods (e.g. probability-based methods or more sophisticated/rigorous models) and focused data collection efforts to facilitate the development of a modeling approach that will result in estimates that are more representative of the actual exposure distribution. In the case of data collection, the value of information that could be gained is an important part of justification for the reduction of uncertainties by further study. 

A summary of the kinetic models and data analysis methods is presented below along with the more significant kinetic results. 

In the Moisio-Heikonen paper another, more elaborate but also more time-consuming data-analysis method was used - as detailed in Fresenius]. Anal. Chem. 354 (1996) 271 - but that is immaterial here. It is with fast and inexpensive methods such as these that enough samples can be analyzed to maintain a consistently high quality of the dairy products during the winter months. 

The laboratories of Lakowicz and Gratton in particular have developed phase-shift techniques and associated data analysis methods to considerable power in many respects its capabilities are now quite similar to those of the SPT technique. Nevertheless, the SPT technique is more widely applied, and research groups accustomed to working with pulsed lasers generally still prefer the SPT technique over the phase-shift technique. Apart from the fact that pulse techniques are more intuitive, this situation is also related to the fact that some instrumentation available in laboratories that use other pulsed spectroscopies can be also used for SPT, but only to a lesser extent for the phase-shift technique. At present commercial instrumentation is available for both kinds of techniques, and it is no longer necessary, as was the case until a couple of years ago, that researchers buy and assemble independent parts of the apparatus. Rather, complete and integrated instruments, including data analysis software, are now available commercially for both techniques. It thus becomes a practical choice to decide which instrumentation is more suitable for the particular task at hand. 

There are many different ways how research is carried out. Here, we differentiate the general research design from more detailed-level data analysis methods.
