[R] PLS LDA

[Liaw, Andy]

Do you mean the pls.pcr package by Prof. Wehrens?  This is what I do:

o  Code the two groups as 0s and 1s (numeric, not factor).

o  Run PLS as usual.  Cases with predicted values > 0.5 get 
   classified as 1s, otherwise as 0s.

o  Note that you need to modify the code inside the mvr() 
   function a bit if you want to use the built-in selection
   of number of LVs:  It selects the number that gives the
   best MSE, but what you really want is the number that
   gives the best error rate.  One trick is to discretize
   the predictions in {0, 1}, then the "MSE" will be error
   rate.

There are better ways to do this, but this works fairly well.

HTH,
Andy
