Two fundamentally different statistical approaches to biomarker selection are possible. With the first, experimental data can be used to construct multivariate statistical models of increasing complexity and predictive power - well-known examples are Partial Least Square Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA) (Barker Rayens, 2003 Kemsley, 1996 Szymanska et al., 2011) or Principal Component Linear Discriminant Analysis (PC-LDA) (Smit et al., 2007 Werf et al., 2006). Inspection of the model coefficients then should point to those variables that are important for class discrimination. As an alternative, univariate statistical tests can be... 

The lattice theory of solution is derived from several idealized assumptions. The assumptions that components A and B are the same size and have the same number of nearest neighbors, for example, are not applicable to real solutions. Ilie regular solution concept of Hildebrand is more versatile it takes into account a mixture of molecules of different sizes, where the principal idea is an ideal entropy of mixing at constant volume irrespective of heat. The activity coefficients in the form of (3.9) due to interaction between components A and B in a liquid mixture are derived by the following equations when the mixing term is expressed as a volume fraction ...
