PLS - Methods for Specifying Designs

Statistica Partial Least Squares (PLS) and General Linear Model (GLM) (as well as Generalized Linear/Nonlinear Models (GLZ), General Regression Models (GRM), General Discriminant Analysis (GDA), and ANOVA) provide three alternate methods for specifying designs: via Analysis Wizards, Quick Specs dialog boxes, and Analysis Syntax. Note that even if you choose one of the first two user-interface methods, you can always switch to the PLS Analysis Syntax Editor dialog box where the PLS syntax describing your current design (as specified via Analysis Wizards or Quick Specs dialog boxes) will be displayed for further editing; the PLS Analysis Syntax Editor dialog also contains options for saving the design syntax in a text file for repeated use.

Analysis Wizards. The simplest method for specifying designs is via Analysis Wizards. When you select this Specification method from the PLS Startup Panel - Quick tab, Statistica will guide you through a series of dialog boxes for specifying the desired type of design. Via this user interface, you can specify all univariate and multivariate (multiple dependent (response) variables) designs.
