Abstract

Chemometrics is a chemical discipline that uses mathematics, statistics, and formal logic (i) to design or select optimal experimental procedures; (ii) to provide maximum relevant chemical information by analyzing chemical data; and (iii) to obtain knowledge about chemical systems. In applications in industry, (iii) can be changed as follows: to obtain knowledge about chemical systems for monitoring or controlling operation of systems. This article focuses on areas of chemometrics that are most relevant to environmetrics.
