Dear all,
The next seminar in our series of statistics talks for people interested in quantitative methods in biology and medicine will take place on Thursday 5 June 2014 at 11h00 in the Salle Delachaux (Biopôle 2, premier étage, Route de la Corniche 10, Lausanne, M2: Vennes).
The speaker will be Athanassios Kondylis (Philippe Morris International, Neuchâtel) who will speak about "An overview on PLS methods in regression & some recent advances"
Abstract: PLS methods are very suitable methods in regression and classification when dealing with collinear and high dimensional data (n<p). Such data sets are very common in modern statistical practice. An overview of PLS methods will be provided, with focus given on regression problems. Algorithmic, numerical and statistical aspects of PLS regression will be presented. Within the framework of regularized regression, PLS regression will be compared to principal components and to ridge regression. Some recent advances in PLS regression highlighting its relation to principal components and simplifying the interpretation of the PLS solution will be finally given. Data sets coming from chemometrics and chemoinformatics will be used to illustrate the presented methods.
Hope to see you there!
Valentin
