Re: [R] PLS regression on near infrared (NIR) spectra data

Hi Paulo, You might also want to look at something like the glmnet package (Friedman, Hastie, and Tibshirani). This carries out penalized regression, is designed to work with high numbers of predictors/inputs/columns and relatively few samples/obervations/rows, and is very fast. See: http://www-

Hi, take a look on pls package and it's documentation, there are examples also for NIR data. http://mevik.net/work/software/pls.html Article form "Journal of Statistical Software" http://www.jstatsoft.org/v18/i02 Also "Caret" package can be used to evaluate pls and other regreesion models: htt

[R] PLS regression on near infrared (NIR) spectra data
