Projection to latent structures,

To gain insight into chemometric methods such as correlation analysis, Multiple Linear Regression Analysis, Principal Component Analysis, Principal Component Regression, and Partial Least Squares regression/Projection to Latent Structures... 

Partial Least Squares Regression, also called Projection to Latent Structures, can be applied to estabfish a predictive model, even if the features are highly correlated.

PLS has been introduced in the chemometrics literature as an algorithm with the claim that it finds simultaneously important and related components of X and of Y. Hence the alternative explanation of the acronym PLS Projection to Latent Structure. The PLS factors can loosely be seen as modified principal components. The deviation from the PCA factors is needed to improve the correlation at the cost of some decrease in the variance of the factors. The PLS algorithm effectively mixes two PCA computations, one for X and one for Y, using the NIPALS algorithm. It is assumed that X and Y have been column-centred as usual. The basic NIPALS algorithm can best be demonstrated as an easy way to calculate the singular vectors of a matrix, viz. via the simple iterative sequence (see Section 31.4.1) ...

Partial least squares (PLS) projections to latent structures [40] is a multivariate data analysis tool that has gained much attention during past decade, especially after introduction of the 3D-QSAR method CoMFA [41]. PLS is a projection technique that uses latent variables (linear combinations of the original variables) to construct multidimensional projections while focusing on explaining as much as possible of the information in the dependent variable (in this case intestinal absorption) and not among the descriptors used to describe the compounds under investigation (the independent variables). PLS differs from MLR in a number of ways (apart from point 1 in Section 16.5.1) ...

Principal components analysis (PCA) and project to latent structure (PLS) were suggested to absorb information from continued-process data (Kresta et al., 1991 MacGregor and Kourti, 1995 Kourti and MacGregor, 1994). The key point of these approaches is to utilize PCA or PLS to compress the data and extract the information by projecting them into a low-dimension subspace that summarizes all the important information. Then, further monitoring work can be conducted in the reduced subspace. Two comprehensive reviews of these methods have been published by Kourti and Macgregor (1995) and Martin et al. (1996). 

The inverse calibration method of Projection to Latent Structures (PLS, also known as partial least squares ), is very similar to PCR, and has been a highly utilized tool in PAT [1]. Like the PCR method, PLS uses the...

PLS projection to latent structures or partial least squares... 

There are apparently many multivariate statistical methods partly overlapping in scope [11]. For most problems occurring in practice, we have found the use of two methods sufficient, as discussed below. The first method is called principal component analysis (PCA) and the second is the partial least-squares projection to latent structures (PLS). A detailed description of the methods is given in Appendix A. In the following, a brief description is presented.

Additionally, the increased use of model predictive control techniques allows for more degrees of freedom (associated with having more manipulated variables) which in turn tends to improve controllability and therefore decrease process variability. Principal component analysis (PCA) and projection to latent structures (PLS) are tools that can be used to monitor process performance and behavior. 

Several steps are involved in rapid analysis method development. These include gathering appropriate calibration samples, chemical characterization of the calibration samples, developing spectroscopic methods for the rapid technique, projection-to-latent-structures (PLS) regression, validation of the PLS algorithm, and the development of QA/QC procedures.128...
