Getting started with mdatools for R

This is a user guide for mdatools — R package for preprocessing, exploring and analysis of multivariate data. The package provides methods mostly common for Chemometrics. The general idea of the package is to collect most of the common chemometric methods and give a similar "user interface" for using them. So if a user knows how to make a model and visualise results for one method, he or she can easily do this for the others.

I decided to rewrite this tutorial in order to add more details and examples for the implemented methods. It is a pre-release version and I am still working on it. Also when new version of the package is released, there will be some changes/additions to the tutorial as well. You can track main changes in the text here.

All methods implemented in the package were tested using well-known datasets. However, there still could be some bugs, in this case please report to [email protected] or use Issues tool at GitHub.
