Abstract

It is still widely unknown in chemometrics that the statistical analysis of compositional data requires fundamentally different tools than a similar analysis of unconstrained data. This article examines the problems that potentially occur when one performs a partial least squares (PLS) analysis on compositional data and suggests logcontrast partial least squares (LCPLS) as an alternative.
