PLSDA {structToolbox} | R Documentation

## Partial least squares discriminant analysis

### Description

PLS is a multivariate regression technique that extracts latent variables maximising covariance between the input data and the response. The Discriminant Analysis variant uses group labels in the response variable and applies a threshold to the predicted values in order to predict group membership for new samples.

### Usage

    PLSDA(number_components = 2, factor_name, ...)

### Arguments

`number_components` | (numeric, integer) The number of PLS components. The default is `2`.
`factor_name` | (character) The name of a sample-meta column to use.
`...` | Additional slots and values passed to `struct_class`.

### Details

This object makes use of functionality from the following packages:
