Vocabulary of concepts and terms in chemometrics (IUPAC Recommendations 2016)

Abstract

Recommendations are given concerning the terminology relating to chemometrics. Building on ISO definitions of terms for basic concepts in statistics the vocabulary is concerned with mainstream chemometric methods. Where methods are used widely in science, definitions are given that are most useful to chemical applications. Vocabularies are given for general data processing, experimental design, classification, calibration and general multivariate methods.
