Abstract
An analytical method can be represented by a point or by a region in a multidimensional “space of procedures”. The coordinates correspond to the parameters of the method, like accuracy, time, cost, etc.. Kaiser [421] applied the information theory to the estimation of the “informing power” of analytical procedures. Pattern recognition methods have been proposed by Wold et. al. [36, 341, 343] for an objective evaluation of analytical methods. A data matrix is obtained by the application of methods to a number of real samples. Mathematical models were constructed for the clusters describing the methods under consideration.
