a) GPA<br />

b) CPCA<br />

Figure 4-6 The consensus of the first two Principal Components based on the fusion of all three<br />

experimental techniques of case study 1 using GPA and CPCA respectively<br />

The consensus output of GPA is compared against the super-scores obtained by CPCA; in both cases,<br />

all three experimental techniques of case study 1 (FTIR, HPLC, e-nose) were used simultaneously for<br />

the data fusion. Dynamically generated 95% confidence ellipses per each class were added in the plots<br />

in order to highlight the presence of any clusters and/or outliers. Colour representation was used to<br />

identify the three classes: fresh (red colour), semi-fresh (orange colour) and spoiled (green colour).<br />

Based on the graphs, the consensus shapes do not provide any obvious discrimination between the<br />

three classification groups since the distinct classes are highly overlapping. It is apparent that the good<br />

clustering between fresh and spoiled samples as observed by standalone HPLC in Figure 2-5 was<br />

destroyed during the fusion process with the other two analytical techniques.<br />
