Description
Summary:Multivariate classification and comparison using principal component analysis have been carried out on the data obtained from thermal and classical analysis of lubricating (lube) oil samples. The results indicate that this statistical method greatly assists the analyst in assessment of the quality of lube oils, particularly in connection with thermal analysis. Some preliminary suggestions concerning selection of the thermoanalytical data are described.
