EVRI-thing You Need to Know About Preprocessing

May 18, 2021

Preprocessing, what you do to data before it goes into a regression or machine learning model, is often the key to modeling success. In this webinar professor Rasmus Bro will demonstrate the great many types of preprocessing that you can do with Eigenvector’s MATLAB based PLS_Toolbox or stand-alone Solo software. You’ll learn how you can combine preprocessing methods in various ways to remove all sorts of artifacts from your data.
