Spatial analysis of heavy metal in mangrove estuary at east coast peninsular Malaysia: a preliminary study

The objectives of this preliminary study are to determine heavy metal concentration in mangrove estuary and to identify spatial patterns in the water quality based on heavy metals concentration. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) were selected to analyze the dat...
