In statistics X’ is called the factor scores. In PCR (if you’re tuning in now, that is Principal Component Regression) the set of measurements X is transformed into an equivalent set X’=XW by a linear transformation W, such that all the new ‘spectra’ (which are the principal components) are linearly independent. Both PCR and PLS will get rid of the correlation.
Finally E is an error.Īs we discussed in the PCR post, the matrix X contains highly correlated data and this correlation (unrelated to brix) may obscure the variations we want to measure, that is the variations of the brix content. In NIR analysis, X is the set of spectra, Y is the quantity – or quantities- we want to calibrate for (in our case the brix values). Using a common language in statistics, X is the predictor and Y is the response. I won’t hold it against you.īoth PLS and PCR perform multiple linear regression, that is they build a linear model, Y=XB+E.

Feel free to skip this section altogether if you’re not feeling like dealing with math right now. I decided to include this description because it may be of interest for some of our readers, however this is not required to understand the code.

In this post I am going to show you how to build a simple regression model using PLS in Python. That is obviously not optimal, and PLS is a way to fix that. That is, our primary reference data are not considered when building a PCR model.
In our last post on PCR, we discussed how PCR is a nice and simple technique, but limited by the fact that it does not take into account anything other than the regression data. PCR is quite simply a regression model built using a number of principal components derived using PCA. You can check out some of our related posts here. In previous posts we discussed qualitative analysis of NIR data by Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and how one can make a step further and build a regression model using Principal Component Regression (PCR). Once the calibration is done, and is robust, one can go ahead and use NIR data to predict values of the parameter of interest. This calibration must be done the first time only. If you know a bit about NIR spectroscopy, you sure know very well that NIR is a secondary method and NIR data needs to be calibrated against primary reference data of the parameter one seeks to measure. PLS, acronym of Partial Least Squares, is a widespread regression technique used to analyse near-infrared spectroscopy data. Today we are going to present a worked example of Partial Least Squares Regression in Python on real world NIR data.
