description This article discusses the possibility of exploratory data analysis of samples described by second-order chromatographic data affected by peak shifts. In particular, the potential of the kernel Gram matrix representation as an alternative to the necessary and time-consuming alignment step is evaluated. It was demonstrated through several simulation studies and comparisons that even small peak shifts can be a substantial source of data variance, and they can easily hamper the interpretation of chromatographic data. When peak shifts are small, their negative effect is far more destructive than the impact of relatively large levels of the Gaussian noise, heteroscedastic noise, and signal’s baseline. The Gram principal component analysis approach has proven to be a well-suited tool for exploratory analysis of chromatographic signals collected using the diode-array detector in which sample-to-sample peak shifts were observed.
