Building classification models plays an important role in DNA mircroarray data analyses. An essential feature of DNA microarray data sets is that the number of input variables (genes) is far greater than the number of samples. As such, most classification schemes employ variable selection or feature selection methods to pre-process DNA microarray data. This paper investigates various aspects of...

Two multivariable problems of general interest are factor analysis and regression. This paper examines partial least squares (PLS) as a tool for both problems. For single output data sets, the familiar PLS algorithm is applicable to both problems. For multiple output problems the familiar PLS algorithm 1, 2, 3] (called fact-PLS in this paper) is appropriate for factor analysis. However fact-PLS...

Birth weight, length and circumferences of the head, chest and arm are key measures of newborn size and health in developing countries. We assessed maternal socio-demographic factors associated with multiple measures of newborn size in a large rural population in Bangladesh using partial least squares (PLS) regression method. PLS regression, combining features from principal component analysis ...

Aiming at the problem that changes of nonlinear dynamic resistance of stator affect the performance of speed sensorless vector control system, a hybrid computing intelligence approach is used in the identification of stator resistance of motorized spindle. The partial least squares (PLS) regression is combined with neural network to solve the problem of few samples and multi-correlation of vari...

An important source of bias in structural equation modeling (SEM) employing the partial least squares method (PLS) is missing data. Deletion methods, such as listwise and pairwise deletion, have traditionally been used to deal with missing data. These methods are perceived as leading to selective loss of data and significant related biases. Missing data imputation methods, on the other hand, do...

An Instrument Surveillance and Calibration Verification (ISCV) system primarily consists of a process model, which is used to verify the output of the measurement instruments in that process. Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) and Partial Least Squares (PLS) are two methods, which can be used for model development. The linear transformation of the PLS method provides a supervised reduction of th...

2010 Society of Dairy Technology Volatile compounds in skim milk and nonstandardised milk subjected to instant infusion pasteurisation at 80 C, 100 C and 120 C were compared with raw milk, high temperature short time pasteurised milk and milk pasteurised at 85 C ⁄30 s. The composition of volatile compounds differed between infusion pasteurisation treated samples and the reference pasteurisation...

This presented paper deals with application of three multivariate calibration methods methods for simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of two active substances in combined pharmaceutical formulation, composed of rutin (RU) and ascorbic acid (AA). The multivariate methods are classical least squares (CLS), principal component regression (PCR) and partial least squares (PLS). The results...

In this paper I review covariance-based Partial Least Squares (PLS) methods, focusing on common features of their respective algorithms and optimization criteria. I then show how these algorithms can be adjusted for use as optimal scaling tools. Three new PLS-type algorithms are proposed for the analysis of one, two or several blocks of variables: the NonMetric NIPALS, the Non-Metric PLS Regres...
