Heritage Science Lab Ljubljana was pleased to welcome Prof Dr Tom Fearn giving an advanced training course in mutivariate data analysis. Focussing specifically on examples of heritage science data, Prof Fearn focused on data analysis methods that enable researchers to visualise data, explore patterns, develop and test hypotheses, working with typical spectral and chromatographic data sets, focussing on practical heritage science examples.
