3 Description

Let

X_{1}

be the mean-centred

n

m

data matrix

X

n

observations on

m

predictor variables. Let

Y_{1}

be the mean-centred

n

r

data matrix

Y

n

observations on

r

response variables.

The first of the

k

factors PLS methods extract from the data predicts both

X_{1}

and

Y_{1}

by regressing on

t_{1}

a column vector of

n

scores:

\begin{matrix} {\hat{X}}_{1} = t_{1} p_{1}^{T} \\ {\hat{Y}}_{1} = t_{1} c_{1}^{T}, & with ​ t_{1}^{T} t_{1} = 1, \end{matrix}

where the column vectors of

m

x

-loadings

p_{1}

and

r

y

-loadings

c_{1}

are calculated in the least squares sense:

\begin{matrix} p_{1}^{T} = t_{1}^{T} X_{1} \\ c_{1}^{T} = t_{1}^{T} Y_{1} . \end{matrix}

The

x

-score vector

t_{1} = X_{1} w_{1}

is the linear combination of predictor data

X_{1}

that has maximum covariance with the

y

-scores

u_{1} = Y_{1} c_{1}

, where the

x

-weights vector

w_{1}

is the normalised first left singular vector of

X_{1}^{T} Y_{1}

The method extracts subsequent PLS factors by repeating the above process with the residual matrices:

\begin{matrix} X_{i} = X_{i - 1} - {\hat{X}}_{i - 1} \\ Y_{i} = Y_{i - 1} - {\hat{Y}}_{i - 1}, i = 2, 3, \dots, k, \end{matrix}

and with orthogonal scores:

t_{i}^{T} t_{j} = 0, j = 1, 2, \dots, i - 1 .

Optionally, in addition to being mean-centred, the data matrices

X_{1}

and

Y_{1}

may be scaled by standard deviations of the variables. If data are supplied mean-centred, the calculations are not affected within numerical accuracy.

For environments where it might be inappropriate to halt program execution when an error is detected, the value

- 1 ​ or ​ 1

is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value

1

is recommended. Otherwise, if you are not familiar with this parameter, the recommended value is

0

. When the value $- 1 or 1$ is used it is essential to test the value of IFAIL on exit.

On exit:

IFAIL = 0

unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

7 Accuracy

The computed singular value decomposition is nearly the exact singular value decomposition for a nearby matrix

(A + E)

, where

{‖E‖}_{2} = O (ε) {‖A‖}_{2},

and

ε

is the machine precision.

8 Parallelism and Performance

G02LAF is not threaded by NAG in any implementation.

G02LAF makes calls to BLAS and/or LAPACK routines, which may be threaded within the vendor library used by this implementation. Consult the documentation for the vendor library for further information.

Please consult the X06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this routine. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

9 Further Comments

G02LAF allocates internally

2 m r + A + \max (3 (A + B), 5 A) + r

elements of real storage, where

A = \min (m, r)

and

B = \max (m, r)
