PLS Analysis Syntax Editor - Specifications Tab

Select the Specifications tab of the GLZ Analysis Syntax Editor to access the options described here. Refer to the GLM Syntax Overview for additional details. Refer also to the description of the GLM keyword DESIGN syntax for a description of how the numerical and mathematical characters can be used.

Element Name Description
Variables Click the Variables button to display the Variable Names to Insert dialog box; the selected variables (variable names) will be transferred to Analysis syntax edit field in the PLS Analysis Syntax Editor at the current location of the cursor.

1, 2, ..., 0, /, . Click these buttons to insert the respective numeric character or symbol into the Analysis syntax edit field of the PLS Analysis Syntax Editor, at the current location of the cursor.

+, _+_, ..., _=_. Click these buttons to insert the respective symbols into the Analysis syntax edit field, at the current location of the cursor.

_, (, ..., ¿. Click these buttons to insert the respective symbols into the Analysis syntax edit field, at the current location of the cursor.

overp Click the overp button to insert the specification overp into the Analysis syntax edit field, at the current location of the cursor. The overp specification is an option used in conjunction with the PARAM keyword, which can be used to request the overparameterized (option overp) or sigma-restricted (option sigma) parameterization of the model.
sigma Click the sigma button to insert the specification sigma into the Analysis syntax edit field, at the current location of the cursor. The sigma specification is an option used in conjunction with the PARAM keyword, which can be used to request the overparameterized (option overp) or sigma-restricted (option sigma) parameterization of the model.
include Click the include button to insert the specification include into the Analysis syntax edit field, at the current location of the cursor. The include specification is an option used in conjunction with the INTERCEPT keyword, which can be used to request the inclusion (specification include) or exclusion (specification exclude) of the constant intercept term(s) for the model.
exclude Click the exclude button to insert the specification exclude into the Analysis syntax edit field, at the current location of the cursor. The exclude specification is an option used in conjunction with the INTERCEPT keyword, which can be used to request the inclusion (option include) or exclusion (option exclude) of the constant intercept term(s) for the model.
no Click the no button to insert the specification no into the Analysis syntax edit field, at the current location of the cursor. The no specification is an option used in conjunction with the LACKOFFIT keyword, which can be used to request (option yes) or not request (option no) the computation of pure error to test the lack-of-fit of the overall model.
yes Click the yes button to insert the specification yes into the Analysis syntax edit field, at the current location of the cursor. See option No above for further details.
none Click the none button to insert the specification none into the Analysis syntax edit field, at the current location of the cursor. The none specification is an option used in conjunction with the keywords ESTIMATE, RANDOM, SURFACE, MIXTURE, REPEATED, WDESIGN, and SAMPLE.
PLS Click the PLS button to insert the specification PLS into the Analysis syntax edit field, at the current location of the cursor. This option is used in conjunction with the METHOD keyword to specify that the standard PLS algorithm (Rannar, Lindgren, Geladi, and Wold, 1994) is to be used to compute the factor scores.
SIMPLS Click the SIMPLS button to insert the specification SIMPLS into the Analysis syntax edit field, at the current location of the cursor. This option is used in conjunction with the METHOD keyword to specify that the SIMPLS algorithm (de Jong, 1993) is to be used to compute the factor scores. For more information on the computational methods of this option (along with option PLS), see the Computational approach section in the Introductory Overview.
