Expert system rules have been developed through the use of principal components analysis (PCA) for discriminating compounds containing large molecular substructures from their condensed-phase infrared spectra. With the use of this approach, the presence of substructures such as those of barbiturates, cocaines, and amphetamines can be recognized automatically. The classification rule can be generated from a PCA of a small training set of infrared spectra of compounds containing the substructure of interest. One important use of this type of expert system is the analysis of direct-deposition capillary gas and supercritical fluid chromatographic separations in which many peaks are eluted and analyzed by FT-IR spectrometry but only one or two contain the substructure of interest. Classification rules for substructures are easy to generate with little or no knowledge of characteristic group frequencies.

Clinical audiologists were surveyed to determine the terms that their patients use to describe their reaction to hearing aid fitting problems. From this survey, a vocabulary of 40 frequently reported terms was developed. A second survey of hearing aid fitting experts was conducted to determine their methods of troubleshooting a hearing aid fitting when the patient reports one of the frequently reported terms. There was a high degree of agreement among the 24 experts. Principal components analysis resulted in ten components that explained 90.8% of the variance in the experts' responses. These results can be applied as an expert system for fine-tuning hearing aid fittings.

Data taken from the blood of 262 patients diagnosed for malabsorption, elective cholecystectomy, acute cholecystitis, infectious hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, or chronic renal disease were analyzed with three numerical taxonomy (NT) methods : cluster analysis, principal components analysis, and discriminant function analysis. Principal components analysis revealed discrete clusters of patients suffering from chronic renal disease, liver cirrhosis, and infectious hepatitis, which could be displayed by NT clustering as well as by plotting, but other disease groups were poorly defined. Sharper resolution of the same disease groups was attained by discriminant function analysis.
