“…Similar studies, but ones which only took into account one honey class (Quercus ilex honeydew and pine honeys) and focused on geographical origin, with samples coming from several regions of Greece and Turkey, respectively, were carried out by Karabagias et al [36] and Duru et al [37] by PCA and stepwise Machine learning is a "new" frontier of chemometrics in which models are computed in an iterative way, with the computation that "learns" from data: once a model has been computed, the calculation starts again using the previous results as starting points, instead of the original data, and this procedure is carried out iteratively until a satisfactory result, or a convergence, is reached. Bogdal et al tested random forest, gradient boosting, support vector machine, naïve bayes, logistic regression [66] and convolutional neural networks on GC-MS spectra converted to images [67]. Satisfactory results were obtained for most of these methods, except for logistic regression and naïve bayes, for which, probably, there were not enough samples.…”
