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.

Hybrid linear analysis (HLA), partial least-squares (PLS) regression, and the linear least square support vector machine (LSSVM) were used to determinate the soluble solids content (SSC) of apple by Fourier transform near-infrared (FT-NIR) spectroscopy. The performance of these three linear regression methods was compared. Results showed that HLA could be used for the analysis of complex solid ...

Near-infrared (NIR) spectrometry will present a more promising tool for quantitative measurement if the robustness and predictive ability of the partial least square (PLS) model are improved. In order to achieve the purpose, we present a new algorithm for simultaneous wavelength selection and outlier detection; at the same time, the problems of background and noise in multivariate calibration a...

This study is the first empirical research that compares three well known technology adoption models in the in the field of e-banking. It aims to determine the dominant factor(s) which influence the user intention to use Internet banking. Three models (TAM, TPB and TRA) were used to test the impact of five factors (perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, attitude, subjective norms and perc...

GSK-3 (Glycogen synthase kinase-3) is a serine/threonine protein kinase involved in various physiological processes and its inhibitors have been evaluated as promising drug candidates for severe pathologies. In this paper a PLS regression analysis was used, to explore the relationship between field of descriptors (as independent variable) and biological activities (pIC50 as dependent variables)...

iron, cobalt and copper are metals, which appear together in many real samples, both natural and artificial. recently a classical univariate micellar colorimetric method has been developed for determination of these metal ions. the organized molecular assemblies such as micelles are used in spectroscopic measurements due to their possible effects on the systems of interest. the ability of micel...

This research examines the influence of Hospitals’ service quality on Patient satisfaction in Katsina metropolis, Nigeria. It is a survey where by questionnaires were randomly administered patients four hospitals conveniently selected for study (General Hosptial Katsina, Federal Medical Centre Turai Yaradua Maternity and Children’s hospital General Amadi Rimi Orthopedic Hospital Katsina). Struc...
