PLS vs canonical correlation and relation to the O2PLS method PDF Print E-mail
Written by Johan Trygg   

I have compiled a few obvious differences between PLS2 and canonical correlation below . In addition, I also describe their relation to a recent development of the OPLS method called O2PLS.

Can we use the regression coefficient profile for selecting PLS components? PDF Print E-mail
Written by Johan Trygg   
The linear model y=Xb + f is often used in chemometrics. Unfortunately, we have put too much emphasis on the importance of the regression coefficient profile b, and mistakenly assumed or believed that it should be a good estimate of the "pure profile". This is not true, and I will argue why in later editorials. But this time, I want to address an earlier question that was posed in relation to the regression coefficient profile.

Svante Wold's New Year Editorial 2005 PDF Print E-mail
Written by Svante Wold, Umetrics & Umea University   
Another year has passed too quickly, and we now read January 2005 on our calendars. In 2004, good things happened and terrible, happy and sad, as usual. However, chemometrics does well, spreading deeper into biology where the data sets are larger than ever with thousands of variables in, among others, gene arrays, LC-MS profiles, and NIR and IR microscopy.

Svante Wold's New Year Editorial 2004 PDF Print E-mail
Written by Svante Wold, Umetrics & Umea University   
The year 2003 has passed amazingly fast - I feel it was yesterday that I was struggling with last years New Year editorial. But actually the world has moved one year forward, and we now write January 2004. Chemometrics has had another good year with exciting and enjoyable conferences at, among others, Åland and Lisbon, displaying improved methodology, and interesting applications.

Prof. Svante Wold's 2003 New Year Message
Towards the end of the year we tend to reflect on what happened and what we accomplished in the year that passed. I am very happy that chemometrics goes forward rapidly on two fronts - exciting new applications, and better theory and methods.

Classification methods
Classification is one of the fundamental jobs for the chemometrician. Information from a series of measurements is used to determine whether samples originate from one or more groups. Much classical work in the area of multivariate statistics originates from biology, in particular the pioneering work of R A Fisher in the 1930s, where organisms were classified into species according to their physical measurements.
