The author of the present thesis has studied some new approaches of chemical rank estimation of a three-way data array and the application of three-way data analysis and chemical pattern recognition in pharmacology. The main results are summarized as follows.
1. The chemical rank estimation of a three-way data array (Chapters 1-2 in Part 1):
An unfolded matrix with the row space of full rank is formed by unfolding a three-way data array along its full-rank mode. When an orthogonal projec...
