Road from Geochemistry to Geochemometrics
This book highlights major problems in the statistical analysis of compositions that have been known for over a century, as well as the corresponding solutions that have been put forward by specialists over the past 30 years. The basic assumptions of norm

Preface
Geochemometrics is defined as the science resulting from the combination of the conventional science of geochemistry with statistics, mathematics, and computation (Verma, 2012). Therefore, our focus is to change slowly but steadily the traditional science of geochemistry to the new science of geochemometrics. We emphasise that, in this book, our aim is to trace the Road from Geochemistry to Geochemometrics. Therefore, each chapter covers the transition of geochemistry towards geochemometrics. The traditional concepts of geochemistry are not fully discussed; they can be consulted in numerous books cited throughout. The basic idea in this book is to first cover the geochemometric concepts related to the major and trace elements, then concentrate on univariate data, and finally, develop some statistical methodology to handle bivariate and multivariate data. The characterisation of the geochemical reference materials, instrumental calibrations, and multidimensional diagrams are specific examples of handling of such data. We have also considered in detail the coherent statistical treatment of compositional data. Finally, as a novel aspect, we have covered the topic of how the experimental results should be reported, espec
