Covers the theory, practice, and applications of factor analysis in chemistry--a mathematical technique for studying matrices of data. Applications include component analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance, and gas-liquid chromatography. Stresses the target-transformation version for its model-testing capabilities. Presupposes knowledge of physical chemistry, and matrix algebra in the case of the more theoretical material.
