Simple least squares regression

Partial least-squares regression (PLSR) is a multivariate data analytical technique designed to handle intercorrelated regressors. It is based on Herman Wold s general PLS principle [1], in which complicated, multivariate systems analysis problems are solved by a sequence of simple least-squares regressions.

Ordinary least squares regression of MV upon MX produces a slope of 9.32 and an intercept of 2.36. From these we derive the parameters of the simple Michaelis-Menten reaction (eq. (39.116)) ...

In the regression of y on x and d, if d and x are independent, we can invoke the familiar result for least squares regression. The results are the same as those obtained by two simple regressions. It is instructive...

The results of simultaneous weighted least-squares regression of the data and some of the unfitted but derived quantities are shown in Tables la, lb, and 2. Table la displays elemental arsenic, its simple oxides, and the reactions for arsenic oxidizing to arsenic trioxides. Table lb introduces the hydrolysis species for As(III) and As(V) in solution, the hydrolysis reactions, and the solubility reactions for the simple oxides. Single species are shown at the top of each table with the reactions underneath. The following discussion describes some of the mineral occurrences for these substances, describes their relative stabilities from field observations, and considers the implications of the evaluated thermodynamic data in terms of these occurrences. 

Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is becoming an important technique for pharmaceutical analysis. This spectroscopy is simple and easy because no sample preparation is required and samples are not destroyed. In the pharmaceutical industry, NIR spectroscopy has been used to determine several pharmaceutical properties, and a growing literature exists in this area. A variety of chemoinfometric and statistical techniques have been used to extract pharmaceutical information from raw spectroscopic data. Calibration models generated by multiple linear regression (MLR) analysis, principal component analysis, and partial least squares regression analysis have been used to evaluate various parameters. 

Linear least squares regression is the most common method of fitting a response that is a function of a single independent variable. Many nonlinear functions may be transformed to simple linear functions, extending the capabilities of the simplest regression algorithm. 

Unlike many of the designs we have looked at so far the equations cannot be solved easily by simple examination. A computer program will therefore be needed, and least squares regression analysis (described in chapter 4) will be the method of choice in the majority of cases. 

We introduce a simple example that will be used again and also extended in chapter 5 to illustrate the predictive use of models. The data will be used here to A emonstrate least squares regression, and the succeeding statistical tests. 

A simple transformation procedure can often remove the unequal scatter in e. But this is not the only procedure available weighted least-squares regression can also be useful. 

Ordinary least squares regression is traditionally one of the most commonly used line-fitting techniques in geochemistry because it is relatively simple to use and because computer software with which to perform the calculations is generally readily available. Unfortunately, it is often not appropriate. 

Earlier, it was noticed that the evaluation of the Fq by using a simple linear extrapolation of the initial Fy fluorescence rise can be significantly affected by the slope of the initial fluorescence rise (3). Therefore, it is essential to determine the validity of the Fq estimation when the slope of the initial fluorescence is different. In order to do this, we evaluated the Fq values when the initial kinetics rise were changed due to the addition of different electron acceptors. The Fig 2a, b and c represents the fluorescence induction curves of barley chloroplasts in the presence of different concentrations of the electron acceptors BQ, FeCN, and MV. The Fy values were quenched dependently to the concentrations of the electron acceptors, consequently, the quenching intensity Fy had different fluorescence initial rises and total fluorescence yields (Fig 2d) which resulted from the rate of the PSII primary electron acceptor Qa reduction (1). By using the least square regression method, we estimated an unchanged Fq value when the initial fluorescence rises were different (Fig 2d). This indicates that, when the chloroplasts were... 

Figure 2.9 Schematic illustrating calibration and measurement using the Method of Standard Additions. A series of aliquots of the unknown sample, all the same size (e.g., a fixed mass Wj or volume Vj), are spiked with varying known amounts Qmsa.i of analytical standard. The observed detector response Ra+msa fot oh extract is then the sum of the contributions from the original unknown amount of analyte in each sample aliquot plus that from the known amount of analytical standard (Qmga) spiked into that particular aliquot. These data vs Q ,sa) then fitted by least-squares regression to the simple caUbration equation. The...
