β¦ Synopsis
Fisher variance ratio tests are developed for determining (1) the number of statisticaliy significant abstract factors responsible for a data matrix and (2) the significance of target vectors projected into the abstract factor space. F-tests, developed from the viewpoint of vector distributions, are applied to various data sets taken from the chemical literature.

Determining the pseudorank of an experimental data matrix, i.e. the mathematical rank in absence of noise, is a fundamental problem in multivariate data analysis. The prime tool for performing this task is abstract factor analysis (AFA). 1 If an estimate of the noise variance is available one may si
Chemical data gleaned from instrumental measurements, such as spectroscopy and chromatography, are often contaminated by multiple sources of error that vary during data collection. Abstract factor analysis (AFA) of such data invariably leads to an excessive number of factors. Various sources of expe
