Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
A paper noting that in artefact compositional studies the selection of variables to use in analysis is unavoidable and that, given this ubiquity, very little attention has been paid to ways in which variables might be selected. The case for the importance of variable selection is put forward and two systematic approaches to making a choice, which have had little or no application in archaeometry, are discussed and illustrated. One, based on the use of principal components, is appropriate if structure in the data is not known. The other, based on the use of classification trees, is applicable when there are known or assumed groups in the data. | ||
