Abstract
SUMMARY— A statistical method, preferably operated by a a computer, is proposed for the analysis of data on complex mixtures where the information sought involves a number of small changes in chemical composition, each of which is individually within the normal range of variation of the mixtures. When the method is applied to the identification of geographical origins of peppermint oils and mixtures of peppermint oils, the results are a substantial improvement on those from previous methods, though still leaving some uncertainty. It is expected that more complete chemical analysis will greatly improve the confidence level.
