PLS-regression (PLSR) is the PLS approach in its simplest, and in chemistry and
technology, most used form (two-block predictive PLS). PLSR is a method for relating two
data matrices, X and Y, by a linear multivariate model, but goes beyond traditional
regression in that it models also the structure of X and Y. PLSR derives its usefulness from
