Abstract:
The present study deals with the application of self-organizing maps (SOM) and multiway principal-components analysis to classify, model, and interpret a large monitoring data set for surface water quality. The chemometric methods applied made it possible to reveal specific quality patterns of the chemical and biological parameters used to monitor the water quality (relation between water temperature, turbidity, hardness, colibacteria), seasonal impacts during the long period of observation and the relative independence on the spatial location of the sampling sites (water supply sources for the City of Trieste).

Multiple Regression
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...
