Chemometrics

摘要

This Review, the nineteenth of this series, and the seventeenth with the title of "Chemometrics," covers the most significant developments in the field from December 2009 through October 2012. As in the previous review covering the period from January 2008 through December 2009, new developments in chemometrics across major fields including novel applications are selected, and recent trends within the field are addressed. This Review is limited to 200 or less citations, so only the most noteworthy papers are cited, taking into account the purpose of covering the topics as well as possible. Space limitation restrict the potential for more comprehensive coverage of this subject, so authors should not feel slighted if they have not been cited. This is a challenging task for the reviewers as the number of citations and diversity of publications within the field of chemometrics has continued to increase rapidly during the past two decades. If one were to search for publications using the keywords multivariate data analysis or image analysis or astrophysical spectroscopic data analysis to broaden the perspective of applications of chemometrics, then the number of papers published during this review period listing each of these keywords would be in the tens of thousands. The fields of biophysics, basic engineering, and biomedical science include thousands of citations about chemometric-like data processing methods during this review period.
