SUMMARYA procedure called GOLPE is suggested in order to detect those variables which increase the predictivity of PLS models. The procedure is based on evaluating the predictive power of a number of PLS models built by different combinations of variables selected according to a factorial design strategy. Examples are given of the efficiency of this variable selection procedure, which shows how these predictive PLS models are better than those obtained by all variables and better than the corresponding ordinary regression models.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
