Multiblock classification

MATLAB toolbox for classification by SO-PLS-LDA, MB-PLS-LDA and PLS-LDA

SO-PLS-LDA

SO-PLS-LDA is a classification method based on the combination of the multi-block SO-PLS regression method and LDA. This toolbox contains MATLAB functions that allow choosing the optimal complexity on the basis of the Måge plot, fitting the SO-PLS-LDA models using different type of cross-validation and then making classification by LDA. The output is a structure that will contain not only the SO-PLS-LDA model, but also the MB-PLS-LDA model built on the same blocks and the PLS-LDA models on the single blocks. For applications and a description of the methods involved see:
