R-mode analysis

In the R-mode analysis, the A matrix is obtained and the F matrix is calculated from the data and the A matrix. In the Q-mode analysis the F matrix is initially obtained and the A matrix is calculated. 

We will proceed, therefore, with an eigenvector analysis of the 5x5 covariance matrix obtained from zero-centred object data. This is referred to as Q-mode factor analysis and is complementary to the scheme illustrated previously with principal components analysis. In the earlier examples the dispersion matrix was formed between the measured variables, and the technique is sometimes referred to as R-mode analysis. For the current MS data, processing by R-mode analysis would involve the data being scaled along each mjz row (as displayed in Table 3.8) and information about relative peak sizes in any single spectrum would be destroyed. In Q-mode analysis, any scaling is performed within a spectrum and the mass fragmentation pattern for each sample is preserved. 

Due to the large number of samples in which Fe and Cr were below detection limits it was not possible to include them in the general R-mode analysis. However, a smaller suite of 20 crude oils was selected in which V, Fe, Ni, Co, Mn and Cr were all found at concentrations above detection limits. A separate R-mode analysis was run on these 20 samples and the results of the biquartimin solution are shown in Figure 6.3. The four factors extracted account for nearly 95% of the total variance among the variables. The correlation coefficient between Fe and Co in 38 crude oils in which both elements were above detection limits was 0.42, and the correlation coefficient between Fe and Mn in 36 crude oils in which both elements were above detection limits was 0.18. From these various facts we can state, with some confidence, that Fe is unrelated to either Co or Mn in...

CPR can be used to find continuous paths for complex transitions that might have hundreds of saddle points and need to be described by thousands of path points. Examples of such transitions include the quaternary transition between the R and T states of hemoglobin [57] and the reorganization of the retinoic acid receptor upon substrate entry [58]. Because CPR yields the exact saddle points as part of the path, it can also be used in conjunction with nonnal mode analysis to estimate the vibrational entropy of activation... 

On the other hand, factor analysis involves other manipulations of the eigen vectors and aims to gain insight into the structure of a multidimensional data set. The use of this technique was first proposed in biological structure-activity relationship (i. e., SAR) and illustrated with an analysis of the activities of 21 di-phenylaminopropanol derivatives in 11 biological tests [116-119, 289]. This method has been more commonly used to determine the intrinsic dimensionality of certain experimentally determined chemical properties which are the number of fundamental factors required to account for the variance. One of the best FA techniques is the Q-mode, which is based on grouping a multivariate data set based on the data structure defined by the similarity between samples [1, 313-316]. It is devoted exclusively to the interpretation of the inter-object relationships in a data set, rather than to the inter-variable (or covariance) relationships explored with R-mode factor analysis. The measure of similarity used is the cosine theta matrix, i. e., the matrix whose elements are the cosine of the angles between all sample pairs [1,313-316]. 

In R mode the source profile matrix A is obtained and the source contribution matrix S is calculated from C and A. The Q mode analysis gives an opposite solution. 

The second difference is that the correlations between samples are calculated rather than the correlations between elements. In the terminology of Rozett and Peterson ( ), the correlation between elements would be an R analysis while the correlation between samples would be a Q analysis. Thus, the applications of factor analysis discussed above are R analyses. Imbrle and Van Andel ( 6) and Miesch (J 7) have found Q-mode analysis more useful for interpreting geological data. Rozett and Peterson (J ) compared the two methods for mass spectrometric data and concluded that the Q-mode analysis provided more significant informtlon. Thus, a Q-mode analysis on the correlation about the origin matrix for correlations between samples has been made (18,19) for aerosol composition data from Boston and St. Louis.

First, as before, the potential is expanded to second order in the atomic displacements around the saddle point. From a normal-mode analysis, it follows that, in the vicinity of the saddle point, motion in the reaction coordinate is decoupled from the other degrees of freedom of the activated complex. Furthermore, it is assumed that the motion in the reaction coordinate (r.c.), in this region of the potential energy surface, can be described as classical free (translational) motion. Thus, the Hamiltonian takes the form... 

The formulation of the method we have sketched, thus far applied with some approximations, may in principle also be applied to nonpolar solvents. However, there are practical difficulties to overcome. The mode analysis in nonpolar solvents is less developed and experimental data on the dielectric spectra are scarcer. The solution of using computed values of s(m) for the whole spectmm is expensive and computationally delicate. The best way is perhaps to develop for apolar solvents a variant of the reduction of Q(r, r, t) that we have introduced for polar solvents, which takes into account that in nonpolar solvents the interaction is dominated by nonelectrostatic terms. The reformulation of the theory has not yet been attempted, at least by our group, but in recent versions of the continuum ab initio solvation methods there are the elements to develop and test this new implementation. 

The nuclear function %a(R) is usually expanded in terms of a wave function describing the vibrational motion of the nuclei, and a rotational wave function [36, 37]. Analysis of the vibrational part of the wave function usually assumes that the vibrational motion is harmonic, such that a normal mode analysis can be applied [36, 38]. The breakdown of this approximation leads to vibrational coupling, commonly termed intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution, IVR. The rotational basis is usually taken as the rigid rotor basis [36, 38 -0]. This separation between vibrational and rotational motions neglects centrifugal and Coriolis coupling of rotation and vibration [36, 38—401. Next, we will write the wave packet prepared by the pump laser in terms of the zeroth-order BO basis as... 

In addition to univariate statistical analysis, the data were also examined by means of multivariate statistical techniques. In particular, R-mode factor analysis was used, which is a very effective tool to interpret anomalies and to help identify their sources. Factor analysis allows grouping of anomalies by compatible geochemical associations from a geologic-mineralogical point of view, the presence of mineralizing processes, or processes connected to the surface environment. Based on this analysis, six meaningful chemical associations were identified (Fig. 15.8).

If the primitive cell contains a molecules, each of which contains p atoms, then the number of acoustic modes is 3, and that of optical modes is (3internal modes and (6er - 3) lattice modes. Analysis of these optical modes will be carried out in the following section. 

Q-mode factor analysis is based on a major product matrix, XX. Whereas the R-mode analyses focus on interrelationships among variables, Q-mode analyses focus on interrelationships among objects. Accordingly, the major product matrix is usually a distance or similarity matrix. Formally, Q-mode and R-mode factor analyses are closely related because the nonzero eigenvalues of the major product matrix are identical to the eigenvalues of the minor product matrix, and the eigenvectors are easily derived from one another (28). 

Aside from principal components, R-mode factor analysis, and Q-mode factor analysis, other techniques that have been used to reduce dimensionality in ungrouped compositional data include multidimensional scaling (34) and correspondence analysis (35).

R-mode factor analyses using both the varimax and biquartimin solutions were carried out on the same data used for the Q-mode. In the varimax analysis, the communalities were all greater than 0.8, indicating that most of the variance of each component is explained by the seven factors extracted. These seven factors were subjected to the oblique biquartimin solution, and the loadings of the variables on the factors are illustrated in Figure 6.2.
