✦ Synopsis

It is argued that multivariate chemical mass balance models are, in general, incapable of determining the number and composition of sources of environmental contamination entirely from the data alone; additional identifying information must be obtained from sources external to the data. Determination of the number and composition of sources is possible, however, Ε½ . if a 'library' of possible source profiles or partial source profiles exists. In such a case, a generalized least squares approach to target transformation factor analysis has been shown in the Ph.D. dissertation of H. Yang to have large-sample performance properties that are robust against violations of distributional assumptions. One can alternatively make use of the popular computer program LISREL to fit chemical mass balance models when partial information from a library of source profiles is available. Using the fitted model, it is shown how to obtain point estimates and credible intervals for source con-Ε½ . tributions either in absolute terms, or as proportions of total contributions from all sources .

The use of models in giving meaning to sense data is described. It is shown that models are essential to human understanding, but that there are no uniquely 'best' models. This leads to the discussion of the design of suitable models for engineering use. The role of physical and mathematical models
