Fig. 2 NMR-based metabolomics can be used to quickly identify changes in the global NMR pattern. In this case, the red peaks between 2.5-0.5 ppm are indicative of metabolic differences that are specific to the disease state. Actual data is not nearly as clear as this schematic. The analysis of typical NMR metabolomics datasets requires the use of multivariate analysis methods, such as principle components analysis (PCA), in order to use the metabolome to classify samples...

It is essential for the clinical implementation of the MRS technology that high sensitivity and specificity are available reproducibly. This requirement was the driving force in the development of the statistical classification strategy (SCS)-based multivariate analysis methods that form the focus of this review. This review aims to summarize the clinical MRS studies reported to date that have included clinical outcomes and/or histopathological assessment of the entire biopsy specimen examined by MRS and where the data have been analysed in recognition of the criteria essential for robust data classification. 

The usefulness of linear multivariate analysis methods such as PC A applied subsequently to the reduced and distilled results due to nMDS is advocated. 

RP-LC, multivariate analysis methods such as principle component analysis (PCA) and nonlinear mapping (NML), or comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) approaches and linear free energy-related (LFER) equations have been used to derive structure-retention relationships in chiral chromatography [16-18]. 

The next example of an OTC map was treated first using a direct classic least square (DCLS) method, and then with more sophisticated multivariate analysis methods. The tablet was mapped over 800 X 800 gm with 10 gm steps. The data were baseline-corrected and normalized before being subjected to an unsupervised multivariate analysis. The first set of results was produced using univariate analysis (Figure 11.8a), when a manual exploration revealed three distinguishable and... 

However, this sort of comparison becomes extremely complex when large numbers of perfumes are involved. Multivariate analysis methods are descriptive procedures that help in this process. These methods are used to model or describe data such that they can be more easily understood by the researcher and thus simplify data comparison. Sophisticated software now exists that makes this kind of analysis possible without it being necessary to understand fully the mathematical modelling involved in the analysis. However, to interpret and understand the results a basic understanding of the technique is necessary.

Characterization Tools for Pyrolysis Oils. It wasn t too many years ago that the only tools available to the scientist interested in pyrolysis oil composition were gas chromatography and thermogravi-metric analysis. The complexity of the pyrolysis oils demands high performance equipment, and a list of such equipment mentioned during the symposium would include proton and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, free-jet molecular beam/mass spectrometry (16.25), diffuse reflectEuice Fourier transform infrared spectrometry ( ), photoelectron spectroscopy ( ), as well as procedures such as computerized multivariate analysis methods (32) - truly a display of the some of the most sophisticated analytical tools known to man, and a reflection of the difficulty of the oil composition problem.

It is also possible to determine multiadditives in the same sample using FTIR and multivariate analysis methods. For example, the simultaneous determination of the concentrations of silica, erucamide and butylhydroxytoluene in PE were measured using IR spectroscopy and suitable calibration models. The concentrations were between 20 and 1100 wt/ppm (366). A multiadditive method was developed for characterisation of an antiblocking agent (silica) and lubricant (erucamide) in molten low density polyethylene (LDPE) samples (324). 

Another important trend is the use of DCLs as sensors. Here, the response of the entire library to the introduction of an analyte is recorded, and information about the nature and quantity of the analyte is obtained through multivariate analysis methods. When the kinetics of the library response are included in the analysis, the time of addition of analytes can also be determined. Chapter 7 describes these analytical applications in more detaU. 

One frequently overlooked issue when using multivariate analysis methods is the calibration method used to obtain the proportionality constants. Thus, the single standard method scans a standard and calculates constants from the following expression ...
