PLS Syntax - Keyword Method

METHOD = { PLS }

  { SIMPLS };

Optional keyword; select the algorithm (method) that is to be used to compute the PLS components; the default is PLS. If PLS (the default) is specified, then a standard PLS analysis using the NIPALS algorithm (Rannar, Lindgren, Geladi, and Wold, 1994) will be performed; if you specify SIMPLS the factor scores will be computed via the SIMPLS algorithm (de Jong, 1993). For additional details, see Computational Approach in the Introductory Overview.
