Principal component analysis is used to examine large multivariate databases. The graphical approach to exploratory data analysis is described and illustrated with a single example of chemical composition data obtained on environmental dust particles. While the graphical approach to exploratory data analysis has certain advantages over the numerical procedures, the empirical approach described here should be viewed as complementary to the more robust treatments that statistical methodologies…

Chemometrics for environmental monitoring: a review.
TLDR
This review aims to provide a detailed understanding of chemometric techniques, how they are currently used in environmental monitoring, and how these techniques can be used to improve current practices.
The use of principal component analysis for the modelling of high performance liquid chromatography
Abstract Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to analyse the behaviour of a chromatographic separation as its scale increased. Three 4.6 mm diameter columns identical in every respect except…
Library Search — Principles and Applications
TLDR
The principles of this methods, the design and the structure of spectra libraries and the manifold of different search strategies are explained and some important applications demonstrated.
Factor analytical approaches for evaluating groundwater trace element chemistry data
Detecting subtle hydrochemical anomalies with multivariate statistics: an example from ‘homogeneous’ groundwaters in the Great Artesian Basin, Australia
The major ion composition of Great Artesian Basin groundwater in the lower Namoi River valley is relatively homogeneous in chemical composition. Traditional graphical techniques have been combined…
Multivariate statistical analysis of gas chromatograms to differentiate cocoa masses by geographical origin and roasting conditions
Multivariate statistical methods were applied to the differentiation of cocoa from 13 geographical origins, taken at four roasting steps and supplied by five different manufacturers. An analysis of…
