Dear collegues, I´ ve worked with near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to assess chemical, physical, mechanical and anatomical properties of wood.
I use "The Unscrambler" software to correlate the matrix of dependent variables (Y) with the matrix of spectral data (X) and I would like to migrate to R. The matrix of spectral variables is very large (2345 columns and n lines, where n = samples), so we used Partial Least Squares Regression to predict a variable y (content of cellulose, for instance) based on the spectral variables, which are the NIR wavelengths. I am new here (since jan2009) and up to now, I not seen anyone commenting about principal component analysis and regression PLS to analyze spectral information in R system. Sorry, I am a R starter... Anybody have any package, or trick to suggest me?
