The Handling of Chemical Data deals with how measurements, such as
those arrived at from chemical experimentation, are handled. The book
discusses the different kinds of measurements and their specific
dimensional characteristics by starting with the origin and
presentation of chemical data. The text explains the units, fixed
points, and relationships found between scales, the concept of
dimensions, the presentation of quantitative data (whether in a
tabular or graphical form), and some uses of empirical equations. The
book also explains the relationship between two variables, and how
equations such as fitting the least square lines can be applied. The
text explains how the simple regression and the correlations models
can be modified in three ways depending on the complexities present
while studying experimental data. When data are reduced to equation
form, ancillary operations — interpolation, integration, and
differentiation — become useful for more precise presentation and
understanding of the experimental data. The book notes the importance
of smoothing or adjustment as a procedure to eliminate the effects of
random error through application of the direct methods, difference
methods, and the least squares method for equally space values. The
text then addresses the dimensional analysis in physico-chemical
problems and discusses the different dimensions (time, mass, force,
energy, and temperature) that can affect systems. Researchers who are
time-constrained or equipped with only fundamental training and
knowledge of statistical analysis will find this book helpful. It can
also be read by students of advanced mathematics and statistical
analysis.
