Data sets resulting from metabonomics or metabolic profiling experiments are becoming increasingly complex, which is hard to summarize and visualize without appropriate tools. The use of chemometric tools, such as orthogonal signal correction (OSC), principal component analysis (PCA), partial least squares to latent structure discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), make the data dimensionality reduction and interpretation much easier. Here we showed a system method based on PCA, PLS-DA for metabonomic data analysis; Furthermore, the loading plots of mass data, were used for the biomarkers discovery.
