Partial Least-Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA) is a multivariate dimensionality-reduction tool that has been popular in the field of chemometrics for well over two decades, and has been recommended for use in omics data analyses. PLS-DA is gaining popularity in metabolomics and in other integrative omics analyses. Both chemometrics and omics data sets are characterized by large volume, large number of features, noise and missing data. These data sets also often have lot fewer samples than features. PLS-DA can be thought of as a "supervised" version of principal component analysis (PCA) in the sense that it achieves dimensionality reduction but with full awareness of the class labels. Besides its use for dimensionality-reduction, it can be adapted to be used for feature selection as well as for classification.
Many variables of partial least squares are used to estimate the factors and loading matrices T, U, P, and Q. Most of them construct a linear regression estimate Y=XB+Bo between X and Y. Some partial least squares algorithms are only suitable for the case where Y is a column vector, while other algorithms deal with the general case where Y is a matrix. The algorithm also differs according to whether they estimate the factor matrix T as an orthogonal matrix. The final prediction is the same in all different least square algorithms, but the components are different.
