Abstract: | Microcomputer software for chemists is becoming available at an ever increasing rate. Following Professor Forina's general pattern recognition program, published in last month's Computer Corner, we present a specific technique, the linear learning machine. This is also available in Professor Forina's PARVUS but the software presented here has additional possibilities. It is proposed by Dr D.C. Leegwater from the Central Institute of Food and Nutrition Research of the Dutch organization of Applied Scientific Research (CIVO-TNO) at Zeist and by his son, who is studying physics and mathematics at the State University of Utrecht. |
