Richard A. Harshman was a member of the Department of Psychology of the University of Western Ontario since 1976, rising in the ranks to the level of Full Professor. He died suddenly on Thursday, January 10, 2008. [1]
He was one of the pioneers of Latent semantic analysis. He made important contributions in psychometrics including the analysis of asymmetric square tables and the analysis of multiway tables. His work on parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) is used in biomedical applications, Chemometrics, and Wireless communications. [ citation needed ]
Harshman also invented three-way chess rules. [2]
Chemometrics is the science of extracting information from chemical systems by data-driven means. Chemometrics is inherently interdisciplinary, using methods frequently employed in core data-analytic disciplines such as multivariate statistics, applied mathematics, and computer science, in order to address problems in chemistry, biochemistry, medicine, biology and chemical engineering. In this way, it mirrors other interdisciplinary fields, such as psychometrics and econometrics.
Partial least squares (PLS) regression is a statistical method that bears some relation to principal components regression; instead of finding hyperplanes of maximum variance between the response and independent variables, it finds a linear regression model by projecting the predicted variables and the observable variables to a new space. Because both the X and Y data are projected to new spaces, the PLS family of methods are known as bilinear factor models. Partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) is a variant used when the Y is categorical.
Marvel Keith Harshman was a college basketball coach, a head coach for forty years in the state of Washington at Pacific Lutheran University, Washington State University, and the University of Washington.
JMP is a suite of computer programs for statistical analysis and machine learning developed by JMP, a subsidiary of SAS Institute. The program was launched in 1989 to take advantage of the graphical user interface introduced by the Macintosh operating systems. It has since been significantly rewritten and made available for the Windows operating system.
John Frederick MacGregor is a statistician whose work in the field of statistical process control has received significant recognition. His pioneering work was in the area of latent variable/multivariate analysis (MVA) methods applied to industrial processes.
John Elvin Harshman was an American Major League Baseball pitcher with the New York Giants, Chicago White Sox, Baltimore Orioles, Boston Red Sox, and Cleveland Indians between 1948 and 1960. He batted and threw left-handed.
The Journal of Chemometrics is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal published since 1987 by John Wiley & Sons. It publishes original scientific papers, reviews, and short communications on fundamental and applied aspects of chemometrics. The current editor-in-chief is Age K. Smilde.
Paul J. Lewi was a Belgian scientist, who elaborated Spectral Map Analysis in 1975 and was one of the cofounders of chemometrics in 1983. Paul Lewi was married with Godelieve Debruyne and they have together 3 children and with Philomena Van Bylen, with 2 children.
The Unscrambler X is a commercial software product for multivariate data analysis, used for calibration of multivariate data which is often in the application of analytical data such as near infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy, and development of predictive models for use in real-time spectroscopic analysis of materials. The software was originally developed in 1986 by Harald Martens and later by CAMO Software.
Richard D. Braatz is the Edwin R. Gilliland Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology known for his research in control theory and its applications to chemical, pharmaceutical, and materials systems.
Chemometrics and Intelligent Laboratory Systems is a peer-reviewed scientific journal sponsored by the Chemometrics Society and published since 1986 by Elsevier. The current editor-in-chief is R. Tauler.
Paul J. Gemperline is an American analytical chemist and chemometrician. He is a Distinguished Professor of Chemistry at East Carolina University (ECU) located in Greenville, North Carolina and has been the recipient of several scientific awards, including the 2003 Eastern Analytical Symposium Award in Chemometrics. He is author of more than 60 publications in the field of chemometrics. Dr. Gemperline served as Dean of the Graduate School at ECU from 2008 to 2022. He retired from ECU June 30, 2022 and is now professor emeritus.
Dr. Agnar Höskuldsson is a Danish scientist who specializes in the field of chemometrics. He was formerly an associate professor at the Technical University of Denmark. He was awarded the Herman Wold gold medal for his contribution to chemometrics in 1997 and over the span of his career he has published over 30 scientific papers and is credited with over 2000 scientific citations.
Passerea is a clade of neoavian birds that was proposed by Jarvis et al. (2014). Their genomic analysis recovered two major clades within Neoaves, Passerea and Columbea, and concluded that both clades appear to have many ecologically driven convergent traits.
Søren Balling Engelsen, Ph.D. (1992), is a Danish chemist, who is active in the fields of analytical chemistry and food science; he is a professor of the University of Copenhagen (UCPH) since 2004.
Members of the Wyoming House of Representatives were elected on November 3, 2020, as part of the 2020 Wyoming elections.
Edmund R. Malinowski was an American professor of chemistry and is considered to be one of the great pioneers of the field of chemometrics. He published over 70 research papers and his 1980 book, Factor Analysis in Chemistry is acknowledged to be the first text on factor analysis applied to chemistry. Malinowski is credited with having an “enormous impact” on the field of chemometrics and the researchers who followed him.
Bruce R. Kowalski was an American professor of analytical chemistry who is acknowledged by the world-wide scientific community to be one of the founders of the field of chemometrics. He was the founding editor of Journal of Chemometrics, and the founding director of the Center for Process Analytical Chemistry at University of Washington in Seattle. Kowalski and Svante Wold formed the Chemometrics Society, which would later become the International Chemometrics Society.
Tormod Næs is a Norwegian statistician working in chemometrics and sensometrics. He studies multivariate statistical analysis, spectroscopy, food science, and sensory science. His impact on chemometrics is exemplified by the over 8,000 citations to his most well-known book, Multivariate Calibration, and the awards in chemometrics that he has received.
