Kettaneh-Wold, J.Trygg, C. Wikström, and S. Wold ISBN-10: 91-973730-2-8 (ISBN-13: 978-91-973730-2-9) 425 pages (Replaces: Multi- and Megavariate Data Analysis: Principles and Applications L. Eriksson, E. Johansson, N. Kettaneh-Wold, and S. Wold, ISBN 91-973730-1-X) Excerpt from the book: “The flexibility of projection methods have made them useful also for the analysis and modelling of messy and complicated data; these methods are increasingly used in a wide range of industrial applications in PARD (processes, administration, research, and development). These include process monitoring and early fault detection and classification, process analytical technology (PAT), data mining and integration, quality control, and relationships between chemical composition/structure and chemical/biological properties. Multivariate calibration, which models the relationship between a multitude of signals measured on various samples and the concentrations of constituents of these samples, is another show-case of MVDA and projections.” Review The first book (previous to the current edition) was reviewed by Ronald E. Shaffer in Journal of Chemometrics, 16, 2002, 261-262: “… in this book the authors do a wonderful job of introducing key concepts graphically with the use of a number of well-chosen examples.” “In conclusion, the authors have done an excellent job at meeting their stated objective of describing multivariate data analysis tools, namely PCA and PLS, in a practical manner.”		Buy this book!

Multi- and Megavariate Data Analysis Part II: Advanced Applications and Method Extensions, Second revised and enlarged edition L. Eriksson, E. Johansson, N. Kettaneh-Wold, J.Trygg, C. Wikström, and S. Wold ISBN-10: 91-973730-3-6 (ISBN-13: 978-91-973730-3-6) 345 pages This second volume has two parts, the first with specialized applications of multi- and mega-variate analysis, namely: QSAR (quantitative structure-activity relationships) describes how series of molecular structures can be translated to quantitative data and how these data then are used to model and predict biological activity measurements made on the corresponding molecules. Chapters on how the QSAR concept applies in peptide QSAR, lead finding and optimization, combinatorial chemistry, and chem-and bio-informatics, are included. The multi- and megavariate analysis of “omics” data, has a special chapter, i.e., data from metabonomics, proteomics, genomics and other areas. Then follow six chapters on extensions of the basic projection methods (PCA and PLS): Orthogonal PLS (OPLS) showing how a PLS model can be “rotated” so that all y-related information appears in the first component, which facilitates the model interpretation. Hierarchical modeling, both PC and PLS, allowing variables of different types to be handled in separate blocks, which greatly simplifies the handling of datasets with very many variables. Non-linear PLS describes various approaches to the modeling of non-linear relationships between predictors X and responses Y. The Image Analysis chapter shows how multivariate analysis applies to the analysis of series of digital images. Data Mining and Integration has a discussion of how to get useful information out of large and complicated data sets, and how to manage and organize data in complex investigations. The second volume ends with a chapter on preference and sensory data, followed by an appendix summarizing the multivariate approach, statistical notes, and references.		Buy this book!

Design of Experiments: Principles and Applications L. Eriksson, E. Johansson, N. Kettaneh-Wold, C. Wikström, and S. Wold ISBN 91-973730-4-4 425 pages Book Description This is the third and extended edition of the book "Design of Experiments". It describes tools for making experiments in a way that maximizes the resulting knowledge in a minimum number of trials. The book gives a detailed introduction to the use of these tools with excellent illustrations of PC-based software as an integrated tool in design and analysis of experiments. It includes some newly developed approaches for biological and pharmaceutical R&D. Experimentation is used everywhere in business, academic research, and industrial development and trouble shooting to investigate and improve processes and products. Often this involves optimization, i.e., how to get maximum performance or results in a given process. In research, development, and production, often half of the available experimental resources are spent on solving optimization problems. How can we, for example, find the optimal conditions for a synthesis or a purification step? Which combination of our factors will give the best yield and lowest impurities, at lowest possible cost, using lowest possible use of energy and raw materials, and producing a minimum of pollution? With the rapidly increasing costs of experiments, it is essential that these questions are answered with as few experiments as possible. Design of Experiments, DOE, is used for this purpose - to ensure that the selected experiments are maximally informative. About the Authors Authors: The five authors are all connected to the Umetrics company which develops and sells software for design of experiments and multivariate analysis since twenty years, as well as supports customers with training and consultations. Umetrics' customers include most large and medium sized companies in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and semiconductor sectors.		Buy this book!
