Sampling with Classifying Methods

The results show that DE-MS alone provides evidence of the presence of the most abundant components in samples. On account of the relatively greater difficulty in the interpretation of DE-MS mass spectra, the use of multivariate analysis by principal component analysis (PCA) of DE-MS mass spectral data was used to rapidly differentiate triterpene resinous materials and to compare reference samples with archaeological ones. This method classifies the spectra and indicates the level of similarity of the samples. The output is a two- or three-dimensional scatter plot in which the geometric distances among the various points, representing the samples, reflect the differences in the distribution of ion peaks in the mass spectra, which in turn point to differences in chemical composition of... 

Liquid-liquid extraction is by far the most popular separation method for the cleanup and preconcentration of samples because it is simple, reproducible, and versatile. There are several ways to achieve these objectives, from the original discontinuous ( batch ) and nonautomatic techniques to continuous separation techniques incorporated with automated methods of analysis. The methodologies can be classified into two general types ... 

However, the ELISA method can be used very effectively as a primary screen to select water samples with reference to an arbitrary threshold of alachlor concentration. A sample selected by ELISA and confirmed by GC/MS as being below a threshold can be classified as a correct negative. Correspondingly, a sample selected by ELISA and confirmed by GC/MS as being equal to or above a threshold can be classified as a correct positive. Threshold levels were chosen at 0.5, 1.0, and 5.0 ppb. 

Direct comparison of the concentration levels found in each study is difficult since the sampling was conducted over different times, with different sampling techniques and different sample treatments and methods of analyses were used. However, the frequency with which the 64 VOCs that are of interest to the EGA are encountered in the different microenvironments can be classified as shown in Table 3. 

When the whole quality pattern of a location is of interest and samples with similar pattern with regard to all parameter will be identified, then clustering by means of all parameter is convenient. When all samples will be classified by each parameter separately, then efforts are more directed towards neglecting numerical differences between samples. For both methods the aim is, all samples will be ranked by the cluster centre they have been assigned to, instead of their original parameter values. Because of technical software problems, the number of chemical parameter had to be reduced to a maximum number of 20 (only in case of clustering by the whole property space). Here, the following pollutants are seen as the most relevant ... 

Matrices covered in this section are very diverse. Examples listed in Table 13.3 include silage juice, fermentation products, hydrolysated biomass residue, cellulose polymer, and also biological specimens. Although these matrices do not strictly classify as environmental samples, some analytical methods dealing with these matrices were included to show their unique approach. Motivations for the analyses are as diverse as the matrices themselves.

In contrast to OVR, OVO method trains 2 = N N —1)/2 binary classifier models considering eaeh possible pair for a N class problem. Fig. 3 illustrates how six binary classifiers are trained in OVO method for a four class problem. The testing of a sample in OVO method is performed by max win strategy [33]. By this technique each of the trained binary classifier can deliver one vote for its favored class and the class with maximum votes specifies the class label of the sample. Thus as the number of classes increases the training and testing time also increase in this method.
