“…Furthermore, the applications in biometrics, environmental and agricultural data of regression methods based on dimensionality reduction are observed in the genomic selection (Azevedo et al, 2013a;Azevedo et al, 2013b;Azevedo et al, 2014;Azevedo et al, 2015;Silveira et al, 2017), gene expression (Nascimento et al, 2017), spectroscopy analysis NIR (Near Infrared) (Morgano et al, 2005;Teófilo et al, 2009), sensory data (Westad, 2005), climatic data (Lim et al, 2015) and process control data (Han et al, 2003), among others. However, dimensionality reduction methods can be applied whenever multicollinearity and high dimensionality are present, and the the study is aimed at regression.…”
