The following sections of this chapter will demonstrate the application of Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) to multisource fossil fuel data generated by the application of three different spectroscopic methods: Pyrolysis Low Voltage Electron Ionization Mass Spectrometry (LVMS); Pyrolysis Field Ionization Mass Spectrometry (FIMS); and Photo-acoustic Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) to a single suite of eight U.S. coals obtained from the Argonne National Laboratory Premium Coal Sample Program (ANL-PCSP). Consequently, the three data sets obtained describe the same suite of samples but are markedly different with respect to number as well as type of variables.
