Partial least squares (PLS) regression is a statistical method that bears some relation to principal components regression and is a reduced rank regression ; instead of finding hyperplanes of maximum variance between the response and independent variables, it finds a linear regression model by projecting the predicted variables and the observable variables to a new space of maximum covariance (see below). Because both the X and Y data are projected to new spaces, the PLS family of methods are known as bilinear factor models. Partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) is a variant used when the Y is categorical.
113-456: PLS is used to find the fundamental relations between two matrices ( X and Y ), i.e. a latent variable approach to modeling the covariance structures in these two spaces. A PLS model will try to find the multidimensional direction in the X space that explains the maximum multidimensional variance direction in the Y space. PLS regression is particularly suited when the matrix of predictors has more variables than observations, and when there

Some, such as transposition and submatrix do not depend on the nature of the entries. Others, such as matrix addition , scalar multiplication , matrix multiplication , and row operations involve operations on matrix entries and therefore require that matrix entries are numbers or belong to

Covariance is an important measure in biology . Certain sequences of DNA are conserved more than others among species, and thus to study secondary and tertiary structures of proteins , or of RNA structures, sequences are compared in closely related species. If sequence changes are found or no changes at all are found in noncoding RNA (such as microRNA ), sequences are found to be necessary for common structural motifs, such as an RNA loop.

The magnitude of the covariance is the geometric mean of the variances that are in common for the two random variables. The correlation coefficient normalizes the covariance by dividing by the geometric mean of the total variances for the two random variables. A distinction must be made between (1) the covariance of two random variables, which
