Chemometrics
Chemometrics
Chemometrics (pronunciation: /kɛmoʊˈmɛtrɪks/) is a branch of chemistry that uses mathematical and statistical methods to design or select optimal procedures and experiments and to provide maximum chemical information by analyzing chemical data.
Etymology
The term "Chemometrics" is a portmanteau of the words "Chemistry" and "Metrics", indicating the use of mathematical or statistical methods in the analysis and understanding of chemical data.
Definition
Chemometrics is the science of extracting information from chemical systems by data-driven means. It is a highly interfacial discipline, using methods frequently employed in core data-analytic disciplines such as multivariate statistics, applied mathematics, and computer science, in order to address chemical problems.
