Besides these basic applications of computers in chemical measurements scientists developed computer programs for solving more sophisticated problems for which some kind of "intelligence" is usually supposed to be necessary. Heuristic methods try to formu late computer programs working in a similar way as a chemist would solve the problem.

Using only a short segment of matrix algebra for the description of methods, this work presents explanations of the important multivariate statistical methods used for analyzing chemical data. It demonstrates methods using the R software package, considering also robust methods, providing software tools and demo data from chemistry fields.
