Number of latents The same number of factors will be extracted for PLS responses as for PLS factors. The researcher must specify how many latents to extract (in SPSS the default is 5). There is no one criterion for deciding how many latents to employ. Common alternatives are: 1. Cross-validating the model with increasing numbers of factors, then choosing the number with minimum prediction error...

Pls regression is a recent technique that generalizes and combines features from principal component analysis and multiple regression. It is particularly useful when we need to predict a set of dependent variables from a (very) large set of independent variables (i.e., predictors). It originated in the social sciences (specifically economy, Herman Wold 1966) but became popular first in chemomet...

For the purpose of exploring and modelling the relationships between a dataset and several datasets, multiblock Partial Least Squares is a widely-used regression technique. It is designed as an extension of PLS which aims at linking two datasets. In the same vein, we propose an extension of Redundancy Analysis to the multiblock setting. We show that PLS and multiblock Redundancy Analysis aim at...

in the present work we study the use of fourier transform near infrared spectroscopy (ftnirs)technique to analysis the calcium (ca), phosphorus (p) and copper (cu) contents offish meal. the regression methods employed were partial least squares (pls) and kernelpartial least squares (kpls). the results showed that the efficiency of kpls was better thanpls. as a whole, the application of ft-nirs ...

Six popular approaches of «NIR spectrum–property» calibration model building are compared in this work on the basis of a gasoline spectral data. These approaches are: multiple linear regression (MLR), principal component regression (PCR), linear partial least squares regression (PLS), polynomial partial least squares regression (Poly-PLS), spline partial least squares regression (Spline-PLS) an...

Partial least squares is a popular method for soft modelling in industrial applications. This paper introduces the basic concepts and illustrates them with a chemometric example. An appendix describes the experimental PLS procedure of SAS/STAT software.

This paper presents regression models obtained from a process of blind prediction of peptide binding affinity from provided descriptors for several distinct datasets as part of the 2006 Comparative Evaluation of Prediction Algorithms (COEPRA) contest. This paper finds that kernel partial least squares, a nonlinear partial least squares (PLS) algorithm, outperforms PLS, and that the incorporatio...
