EVRI-thing You Need to Know About Gray Classical Least Squares
Mar 31, 2023
The Gray Classical Least Squares models in PLS_Toolbox/Solo 9.2 combine the interpretability of CLS with the predictive ability of PLS regression. In this webinar we go over the benefits of the Gray CLS model and show how to develop them, including cross-validation to find the best model parameters.
EVRI-thing You Need to Know About Automated Hierarchical Classification Models
Mar 16, 2023
The recently released PLS_Toolbox and Solo version 9.2 includes many improvements and additions, but perhaps the most exciting is the Hierarchical Model Automatic Classifier (HMAC) tool. The HMAC automatically creates a decision tree of Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA) models for complex classification problems. It is based on the recently published AHIMBU method (Marchi, […]

EVRI-thing You Need to Know About t-SNE & UMAP in PLS_Toolbox/Solo
Jan 6, 2022
PLS_Toolbox and Solo version 9.0 include two relatively new data visualization methods, t-distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE) and Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP). These routines, from the scikitlearn library for Python, can now be found in our interfaces (and for PLS_Toolbox, also at the MATLAB® command line). We will introduce these methods and show […]
Gray Classical Least Squares (CLS) with GLSW filter
Dec 17, 2021
PLS_Toolbox and Solo 9.0 include the ability to make Gray Classical Least Squares (CLS) models. This is a CLS model that uses Generalized Least Squares Weighting (GLSW) or External Parameter Orthogonalization (EPO) filter data based on the residuals of a preliminary CLS model. This video shows how to use this functionality in the new PLS_Toolbox […]

EVRI-thing You Need to Know About TrendTool for Exploring Ordered Data
Jul 13, 2021
Many chemical and biological data sets are logically ordered by an axis variable such as time, space, or wavelength. In this webinar we will show how to explore these data sets using TrendTool, a utility that is available in Eigenvector’s MATLAB based PLS_Toolbox and stand-alone Solo software. TrendTool can be used, for example, to find […]
