Abstract

Chemometrics – the science of extracting information from chemical systems using multivariate and mathematics methods – when applied to geochemical and human health data can reveal unique relations. As a tutorial for chemometric analysis of geochemical data and linked medical data, this chapter presents a brief survey of approaches that can be used to reveal new insights into the interdependencies of geochemistry and human health.
