D. Jouanrimbaud et al., DETERMINATION OF THE REPRESENTATIVITY BETWEEN 2 MULTIDIMENSIONAL DATASETS BY A COMPARISON OF THEIR STRUCTURE, Chemometrics and intelligent laboratory systems, 40(2), 1998, pp. 129-144
An approach for the investigation and comparison of the data structure
in the multidimensional space is proposed. It is based on three prope
rties, namely, the direction of the data sets, the variance-covariance
of the data points, and the location of the data sets' centroids. A n
umber of tests have been studied and are presented. It is shown that t
he combined use of these parameters allows a satisfactory estimation o
f the representativity between two data sets. Simulated data, as well
as real case studies are presented. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All
