title: Evaluation of weighted discriminating power calculations as an aid to the selection of chromatographic systems for the analyses of drugs.
abstract: In toxicological analyses some chromatographic separations are more important than others. Two weighting methods for chromatographic data are described which incorporate the importance of particular separations into discriminating power calculations. The data were abstracted from a publication on the separations of acidic drugs on thin-layer chromatographic systems. When compared with non-weighted discriminating power calculations, those obtained with the weighting procedure did not give any advantage.
