Abstract

The application of mathematical statistics in analytical chemistry is considered. It is shown that the analytical chemist in his research needs, first of all, simple rather than complex methods of one-dimensional statistics. The search for methods of multivariate statistics that are adequate for analytical chemistry may require the participation of specialists in the field of mathematical statistics. The methods of simulation statistics, based on the intensive use of computer technology, can help in overcoming many difficulties associated with the fundamental methodological shortcomings of mathematical statistics itself.
