Treated data

There are, however, other options for treating data from both first- and second-order kinetics. Collectively, they are known as time lag methods. These methods are primarily of historical interest, although the mathematical rearrangements provide insights into the nature of the functions involved. 

The method is not as useful with multisubstrate systems however, Cornish-Bowden and EndrenyE have presented a robust regression method to treat data with more parameters. 

While some researchers feel that individual components making up the sensory response need to be characterized (9), others feel that methods dealing with the composite sensation are more appropriate. For this reason methods which do not rely on internal representation of terms have been applied. One such method is multidimensional scaling (MBS), which treats data based on a persons total perception of the dissimilarity between objects.(10)... 

Sensory. Multidimensional scaling was used in this study to evaluate the subjective differences between tobacco types. MDS treats data based on a person s total perception of the degree of dissimilarity between objects presented in a pairwise fashion (12). A map is produced which groups the objects by degree of similarity on several dimensions. 

The terms cepstrum and cepstral come from inverting the first half of the words spectrum and spectral they were coined because often in cepstral analysis one treats data in the frequency domain as though it were in the time domain, and vice versa. The value of cepstral analysis comes from the observation that the logarithm of the power spectrum of a signal consisting of two echoes has an additive periodic component due to the presence of the two echoes, and therefore the Fourier transform of the logarithm of the power spectrum exhibits a peak at the time interval between them. The...

In analytical chemistry, the product is not spaghetti sauce, but, rather, raw data, treated data, and results. Raw data are individual values of a measured quantity, such as peak areas from a chromatogram or volumes from a buret. Treated data are concentrations or amounts found by applying a calibration procedure to the raw data. Results are what we ultimately report, such as the mean, standard deviation, and confidence interval, after applying statistics to treated data.

The advance of the PLS method is the nonproblematic handling of multicollinearities. In contrast with the other methods of multivariate data analysis the PLS algorithm is an iterative algorithm which makes it possible to treat data which have more features than objects [GELADI, 1988],... 

More difficult situations occur when only some components exhibit selectivity. A common example is a completely embedded peak in HPLC-DAD. In the case of LC-MS or LC-NMR, this problem is often solved by finding pure variables, but because UV/vis spectra are often completely overlapping it is not always possible to treat data in this manner. 

The value of the dielectric constant is incorporated into precise conductance treatments. However, as noted previously, there is some disagreement concerning the value of the dielectric constant of pure NMA. Most authors have used values of the dielectric constant consistent with the work of Bass et a/.93 and that of Lin and Dannhauser26. Alternatively, Kortiim and co-workers have used Bonner s higher value of e for NMA at 35 °C13 in conjunction with the Fuoss-Onsager equation128 to treat data for several salts. This approach has only very slightly affected the deter-... 

The data were smoothed using a 15 point cubic-quartic Savitzky and Golay (1A) algorithm, the x-ray satellites and a Shirley background were subtracted using computer routines available in the Vacuum Generators data analysis software. Only the treated data are presented here. 

The discriminate function analysis also yields classification functions for each variable (Fe, Pb, or Ni) within each group (TC, MB, TB, NMDB, KVDB, NMSB, and KVSB) and a constant for each group. Once known, the classification functions can be used to classify each of the original sherds into one of the seven possible groups. The classification matrix, obtained by treating data from the 32 original sherds with the classification functions, is given as Table VI. 

For measuring kinetic parameters, we treated data following the procedure of Coats and Redfern ( and Mickelson and Einhorn ( by taking logarithms from Equation (T) at temperatures, T - and Tj ... 

Frake and co-workers " extensively evaluated numerous chemometric techniques for the NIRS prediction of mass median particle size determination of lactose monohydrate. Models evaluated in zero order (untreated) and second derivative were MLR, PLS (partial least squares), and ANN (artificial neural network). The researchers concluded that there is more than one way to treat data and achieve a good calibration model. The group also confirms previous observations that derivitization of data does not remove particle size effects (previously thought to contribute to baseline shift). 

Developing such as model is a preliminary and necessary stage in achieving real time plant optimization which involves treating data reconciliation and rigorous simulation simultaneously by means of optimization techniques, whose objective is to maximize process profitability (Perunicic et.al.,2007). 

Savitzky Golay (1964) developed the algorithm for a filter to treat data measured in noisy processes, as spectroscopy. An experimental measurement series is filtered first by choosing a window size, n (which must be an odd number). Each window is interpolated using a polynomial of degree p, with p < n. Information obtained from the interpolated polynomial is less noisy. Thus, the first derivative of each polynomial at the central points is calculated and the value is used as a statistic for assessing the stationarity of the point. The parameters of the filter are the window size, n, and the polynomial degree, p. 

Another approach to the data based on low-level counting uses the method of maximum likelihood. The likelihood of a set of data is the probability of obtaining the particular set, given the chosen probability distribution model. The idea is to determine the parameters that maximize the likelihood of the sample data. The methodology is simple, but the implementation may need intense mathematics [12], The method has been used, for instance, to treat data on production rates [12] and... 

Spreadsheet Summary In Chapter 12 of Applications of Microsoft Excel in Analytical Chemistry, methods for treating data from spectropho-tometric titrations are explored. We analyze titration data using least-squares procedures and use the resulting parameters to compute the concentration of the analyte. 

Advanced off-fine analysis software can help to access the statistical and the lateral distribution of the pull-off forces (panels c and d, respectively). The corresponding data, e.g., magnitude of the pull-off force, displayed in a 2D adhesion map (Fig. 4.4d) show that the border region is indeed characterized by a gradually changing, mixed chemical composition. The corresponding composition gradient can thus be mapped. Similarly, the statistically treated data yield a bimodal distribution of the pull-off forces (Fig. 4.4c). 

The programs use the NIPALS algorithm and can treat data matrices even if there are some data missing. 

The inspection of outliers is the next step in the statistical processing. In the presence of outliers, least squares estimation is biased. Nowadays a number of robust MLR methods are available to treat data that contain outliers (21), least trimmed squares being one of the many popular alternatives. Interestingly, in many QSRR studies, it is precisely the outliers that are of physicochemical interest. 

Verify that repeated use of the Power and Root (or Powerl and Rootl) macros now does lead to computational errors with relative values smaller than 10 15. This final example illustrates that, while the spreadsheet always (and automatically) treats data as double precision, the mathematical operations in VBA must be told specifically to do so ... 

The lack of data reported in the literature prevents comparing thermodynamic measurements of micellization enthalpies. Although numerous calorimetric studies have been made, many times the measured enthalpies have been mathematically manipulated to give a value for the enthalpy of micellization. Although valuable in testing theories, such manipulation obscures the use of different methods for treating data. As a result, each method may have produced a different value. The methods briefly summarized are as follows ...
