Information and communications (IC) technology influences all human activities but also plays an important role in development of various scientific disciplines and other types of technologies thus enabling their large scale implementation. This paper presents the relations among IC technology, experimental methods and multivariate analysis. As the development of experimental techniques and multivariate analysis paved way to revolutionary discoveries referring to IC technology, this, as a feed back, enabled further development and implementation of the mentioned methods in the most diversified fields of human activities. The necessity of the integral approach, based on implementation of multivariate analysis and adequate experimental methods and respective IC technologies is illustrated in the example of solving the problem of preservation, protection and evaluation of cultural heritage objects. In the process, various experimental analytic techniques based on principles of physics and/or chemistry are used along with IC technologies. In order to obtain the best possible analysis and interpretation of series consisting of enormous number of data, aiming to filter only the most important information relevant for particular object, statistical approach is necessary where a prominent position belongs to multivariate analysis - a task that can only be accomplished by using adequate statistics software. |
