Design and Analysis in Chemical Research

This volume covers the principles of design and analysis in chemical research and development. It is organized in chapters dealing with major activities, and understanding should be generated through the large numbers of examples and practical applications relating to search and development chemistry. Contributors concentrate on principles and interpretation rather than formal derivation and proof. A principal theme is that statistics and chemometrics (which relies on statistics) are essentially extensions of the logical processes used every day by chemists, and that they bring graeter undertanding of problems more quickly and easily than purely intuitive methods.
