โฆ Synopsis
Our objective in this article is to clarify partial least squares (PLS) regression by illustrating the geometry of NIPALS and SIMPLS, two algorithms for carrying out PLS, in both object and variable space. We introduce the notion of the tangent rotation of a vector on an ellipsoid and show how it is intimately related to the power method of finding the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a symmetric matrix. We also show that the PLS estimate of the vector of coefficients in the linear model turns out to be an oblique projection of the ordinary least squares estimate. With two simple building blocks-tangent rotations and orthogonal and oblique projections-it becomes possible to visualize precisely how PLS functions.

A simple objective function in terms of undeflated X is derived for the latent variables of multivariate PLS regression. The objective function fits into the basic framework put forward by Burnham et al. (J. Chemometrics, 10, 31-45 (1996)). We show that PLS and SIMPLS differ in the constraint put on
The need for calibration typically arises when an 'expensive' but accurate measurement method is replaced by a 'cheap' but generally less accurate method. As an example we may be interested in the amount of a particular chemical present in a mixture. Here traditional 'wet' chemistry techniques can l
