Welcome to the world's most extensive suite of chemometric tools!
The PLS_Toolbox is a collection of advanced chemometric routines, i.e., tools designed specifically for modeling data from chemical systems. Originally named for the partial least squares (PLS) routines that have become a mainstay for calibration model development, the PLS_Toolbox now contains over 300 functions that can be used in a variety of technical areas.
This includes linear and nonlinear modeling tools, along with functions that help the user apply them in the chemical laboratory or process environment. Tools included in the toolbox are point and click graphical user interfaces for principal components analysis and partial least squares regression and a suite of tools for the analysis of multi-way data.
PLS_Toolbox contains the tools required by chemical engineers, analytical chemists and other analysis-driven scientists to explore their data and build predictive models. It gets its name from the Partial Least Squares (PLS) regression method, which has become the standard calibration method in many regression applications, but the toolbox now includes so much more including a unified graphical interface and over 300 tools for use in a wide variety of technical areas. The latest version includes a number of new tools in our graphical interface as well as new command-line functionality.
PLS_Toolbox tools include...
Data Exploration and Pattern Recognition (Principal Components Analysis, Parallel Factor Analysis, MCR, Purity, Tucker Models...)
Plus all the cutting edge tools you've come to expect from Eigenvector Research! All with source code allowing the advanced user to view and understand the techniques - no more black-box analyses. Command-line users may find the Function Reference-Card (get as PDF here) useful to print out and refer to while working with PLS_Toolbox.
System Requirements
If you are using MATLAB 6.5, 7.x or higher (R13.1 through R2007b) you are ready to use PLS_Toolbox. PLS_Toolbox does not require other MATLAB toolboxes. Like all MATLAB toolboxes, PLS_Toolbox is platform independent. It will function on any platform on which MATLAB functions (e.g. MAC, PC, UNIX, Linux).
