Regression reverse

The procedure above seems rather cumbersome. Would it not be possible simply to carry out the regression, reversing the dependent and independent variables and get directly to an equation that predicts PABA concentration from absorption We could do this, but the fitted line would be slightly different and would not be properly optimized. The correct procedure is the one shown above. 

More recent research provides reversible oxidation-reduction potential data (17). These allow the derivation of better stmcture-activity relationships in both photographic sensitization and other systems where electron-transfer sensitizers are important (see Dyes, sensitizing). Data for an extensive series of cyanine dyes are pubflshed, as obtained by second harmonic a-c voltammetry (17). A recent "quantitative stmcture-activity relationship" (QSAR) (34) shows that Brooker deviations for the heterocycHc nuclei (discussed above) can provide estimates of the oxidation potentials within 0.05 V. An oxidation potential plus a dye s absorption energy provide reduction potential estimates. Different regression equations were used for dyes with one-, three-, five-methine carbons in the chromophore. Also noted in Ref. 34 are previous correlations relating Brooker deviations for many heterocycHc nuclei to the piC (for protonation/decolorization) for carbocyanine dyes the piC is thus inversely related to oxidation potential values. 

Using linear regression, it is possible to estimate the protonation constants of the Fe(II) complexes of siderophore complexes where the redox potentials have been measured over a range of pH values (59). This also explains the variation in reversibility of reduction as the pH changes, as the stability of the ferro-siderophore complex is much lower than the ferric complex, and the increased lability of ligand exchange and increased binding site competition from H+ may result in dissociation of the complex before the iron center can be reoxidized. 

Early background retinopathy may reverse with improved glycemic control. More advanced disease will not regress with improved control and may actually worsen with short-term improvements in glycemia.

In many deep-sea fish, the olfactory capsule and olfactory lobes are much larger in males than in females. The olfactory lobe of the brain may even change in size in the same individual ripe males of Gonostoma hathyphilus (Gonostomati-dae) have extremely large olfactory lobes. With sex reversal, their olfactory lobes regress (Badcock, 1986).

Reverse Regression. This and the next exercise continue the analysis of Exercise 10, Chapter 8. In the earlier exercise, interest centered on a particular dummy variable in which the regressors were accurately measured. Here, we consider the case in which the crucial regressor in the model is measured with error. The paper by Kamlich and Polachek (1982) is directed toward this issue.

The retention times of peptides with fewer than 20 residues in reversed-phase chromatography can be predicted with a high degree of accuracy based on their amino acid composition and the characteristics of their N-terminal and C-terminal amino acids. A number of researchers (66 -75) have studied the role of amino acids in peptide retention and have established retention coefficients for the different amino acids. The retention coefficient value of each amino acid is normally calculated by regression analysis of the retention times for peptides of known composition. 

A procedure to determine PIR residues in bovine milk using HPLC with the derivatization step for UV detection has also been published (211). The PIR was extracted from milk after protein precipitation and a two-step LLE procedure. The extract was evaporated to dryness, dissolved in dilute base, and derivatized with 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (FMOC). The de-rivatized extract was analyzed by reversed-phase HPLC. Overall recovery was 89%, with 4% for coefficient of variation. A linear regression analysis of HPLC/UV results was compared with the HPLC/MS assay (209,210). The procedure takes about 2.5 hours to complete six or eight samples. Pirlimycin is stable in milk frozen to —60°C or below for at least 3 months.
