Preeclampsia is associated with increased perinatal morbidity and mortality. There have been numerous efforts to determine preeclampsia biomarkers by means of biophysical, biochemical, and spectroscopic methods. In this study, the preeclampsia and control groups were compared via band component analysis and multivariate analysis using Raman spectroscopy as an alternative technique. The Raman spectra of serum samples were taken from nine preeclamptic, ten healthy pregnant women. The Band component analysis and principal component analysis-linear discriminant analysis were applied to all spectra after a sensitive preprocess step. Using linear discriminant analysis, it was found that Raman spectroscopy has a sensitivity of 78% and a specificity of 90% for the diagnosis of preeclampsia. Via the band component analysis, a significant difference in the spectra of preeclamptic patients was observed when compared to the control group. 19 Raman bands exhibited significant differences in intensity, while 11 of them decreased and eight of them increased. This difference seen in vibrational bands may be used in further studies to clarify the pathophysiology of preeclampsia.

In a quest to use Raman spectroscopy as an optical diagnostic tool, we recorded Raman spectra of 32 dengue virus (DENV)-infected and 28 healthy sera samples in the near-infrared spectral range (540 to 1700 cm−1) using laser at 785 nm as the excitation source. We observed clear differences in the Raman spectra of DENV-infected sera as compared with those of healthy individuals. Here, as a result of our study, we report 12 unique Raman bands associated with DENV-infected sera that are not reported earlier. After applying analysis of variance and t-test (p < 0.05) on these 12 bands, six Raman bands at 630 (N-acetylglucosamine), 883 (in-plane bending (ring) of deoxyribose), 1218 (amide III–β conformation from C6H5–C stretching vibrations of tryptophan and phenylalanine), 1273 (amide–III), 1623 (tryptophan) and 1672 cm−1 (ceramide) were found only in the DENV-infected sera. The remaining six Raman bands at 716 (lipids), 780 (Uracil-based ring breathing mode), 828 (ring breathing tyrosine), 840 (α-anomers), 1101 (ν(C–N) of lipids and DNA) and 1150 cm−1(glycogen/carotenoids) were only found in healthy sera. Two types of classification models, principal component analysis and linear discriminant analysis, were employed to develop principal component analysis–linear discriminant analysis model that has provided diagnostic accuracy 96.50%, sensitivity 93.44%, and specificity 100%. This indicates that these 12 Raman bands have the potential to be used as biomarkers for optical diagnosis of DENV infection. This study provides a new insight for future research in the field of optical diagnosis using Raman spectroscopy.

Dental fluorosis is an irreversible condition caused by excessive fluoride consumption during tooth formation and is considered a public health problem in several world regions. The objective of this study was to evaluate the capability of micro-Raman spectroscopy to classify teeth of different fluorosis severities, applying principal component analysis and linear discriminant analysis (PCA-LDA), and estimate the model cross-validation accuracy. Forty teeth of different fluorosis severities and a control group were analyzed. Ten spectra were captured from each tooth and a total of 400 micro-Raman spectra were acquired in the wavenumber range of 250 to 1200 cm–1, including the bands corresponding to stretching and bending internal vibrational modes n1, n2, n3, and n4 (PO43–). From the analysis of the micro-Raman spectra an increase in B-type carbonate ion substitution into the phosphate site of the hydroxyapatite as fluorosis severity increases was identified. The PCA-LDA model showed a sensitivity and specificity higher than 94% and 93% for the different fluorosis severity groups, respectively. The cross-validation accuracy was higher than 90%. Micro-Raman spectroscopy combined with PCA-LDA provides an adequate tool for the diagnosis of fluorosis severity. This is a non-invasive and non-destructive technique with promising applications in clinical and epidemiological fields.

This chapter presents two straightforward image projection techniques — two-dimensional (2D) image matrix-based principal component analysis (IMPCA, 2DPCA) and 2D image matrix-based Fisher linear discriminant analysis (IMLDA, 2DLDA). After a brief introduction, we first introduce IMPCA. Then IMLDA technology is given. As a result, we summarize some useful conclusions.

Odor reproduction, a branch of machine olfaction, is a technology through which a machine represents various odors by blending several odor sources in different proportions and releases them. In this paper, an odor reproduction system is proposed. The system includes an atomization-based odor dispenser using 16 micro-porous piezoelectric transducers. The authors propose the use of an electronic nose combined with a Principal Component Analysis–Linear Discriminant Analysis (PCA–LDA) model to evaluate the effectiveness of the system. The results indicate that the model can be used to evaluate the system.

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death globally. Early detection of cancer allows better treatment for patients. One method to detect cancer is using microarray data classification. However, microarray data has high dimensions which complicates the classification process. Linear Discriminant Analysis is a classification technique which is easy to implement and has good accuracy. However, Linear Discriminant Analysis has difficulty in handling high dimensional data. Therefore, Principal Component Analysis, a feature extraction technique is used to optimize Linear Discriminant Analysis performance. Based on the results of the study, it was found that usage of Principal Component Analysis increases the accuracy of up to 29.04% and f-1 score by 64.28% for colon cancer data.

To facilitate the enhanced reliability of Raman-based tumor detection and analytical methodologies, an ex vivo Raman spectral investigation was conducted to identify distinct compositional information of healthy (H), ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), and invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC). Then, principal component analysis-linear discriminant analysis (PCA-LDA) and principal component analysis-support vector machine (PCA-SVM) models were constructed for distinguishing spectral features among different tissue groups. Spectral analysis highlighted differences in levels of unsaturated and saturated lipids, carotenoids, protein, and nucleic acid between healthy and cancerous tissue and variations in the levels of nucleic acid, protein, and phenylalanine between DCIS and IDC. Both classification models were principal component analysis-linear discriminant analysis to be extremely efficient on discriminating tissue pathological types with 99% accuracy for PCA-LDA and 100%, 100%, and 96.7% for PCA-SVM analysis based on linear kernel, polynomial kernel, and radial basis function (RBF), respectively, while PCA-SVM algorithm greatly simplified the complexity of calculation without sacrificing performance. The present study demonstrates that Raman spectroscopy combined with multivariate analysis technology has considerable potential for improving the efficiency and performance of breast cancer diagnosis.
