Course Description
If PCA is the most important chemometric and machine learning method, then Partial Least Squares (PLS) regression is a very close second. Chemometrics II — Regression and PLS covers regression methods starting with Classical Least Squares (CLS) and Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) and culminates in Principal Components Regression (PCR) and PLS Regression. Students will learn to safely apply the methods to create predictive models in a variety of applications. The course includes hands-on computer time for participants to work example problems using PLS_Toolbox or Solo.
Prerequisites
Linear Algebra for Chemometricians and Chemometrics I: PCA or equivalent experience. MATLAB for Chemometricians may also be helpful.
Course Outline
- Nomenclature and Conventions
- Classical Least Squares (CLS)
- Inverse Least Squares (ILS) models
- Multiple Linear Regression (MLR)
- Ridge Regression (RR)
- Principal Components Regression (PCR)
- Determination of number of PCs – Cross Validation
- Partial Least Squares (PLS)
- Interpreting PLS Models
- Outlier detection and model diagnostics
- Example datasets: pseudo-gasoline, SFCM temperature/level, styrene-butadiene copolymers
