Basic principles of data analysis: parametrization. The biomaterial is characterized by 9 features or descriptors whereas the cell response is described by 6 features or descriptors in this toy example. m/z, mass to charge ratio; #C–O, number of C or O atoms; #Δ, number of triangles present in a surface topography; #pits, number of pits present in a surface topography; gene A-B, relative gene expression versus a control; area, cell area; aspect ratio, cell aspect ratio (length/width); fluorescent intensity, the fluorescent intensity of a marker of interest.
