SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This guide helps MATLAB users build chemometric models with Eigenvector's PLS_Toolbox without relying on the GUI, coordinating dataset objects, preprocessing, and model objects in both OO and function-form workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Two construction styles: Object-Oriented (OO) with evrimodel objects and the preferred approach, and Function-Form using direct modeling functions.
  • End-to-end pipelines: Prepare data as DSOs, configure models, apply preprocessing, calibrate/cross-validate, inspect results, and apply to new data.
  • Cross-tool coordination: Coordinates three companion skills (pls-toolbox-dataset, pls-toolbox-preprocessing, pls-toolbox-model-object) to streamline model building in MATLAB.

Quick Start

Use a simple OO workflow to create an PCA model, set data and preprocessing, calibrate, and inspect results.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build chemometric models in MATLAB without using the PLS_Toolbox GUI?

You can build chemometric models in MATLAB without the GUI by using Object-Oriented evrimodel workflows or function-form modeling functions to configure, calibrate, and cross-validate datasets entirely through scripts.

What is the best way to apply preprocessing and cross-validation for PLS models in MATLAB?

The best way to apply preprocessing and cross-validation for PLS models is using the Object-Oriented evrimodel workflow, which allows you to set data, configure preprocessing, calibrate, and validate in a structured pipeline.

Do I need a licensed PLS_Toolbox installation to run PCA and PLSDA workflows in MATLAB?

Yes, you need both a licensed PLS_Toolbox installation and MATLAB to execute end-to-end PCA and PLSDA workflows, as the Skill coordinates companion tools to build and validate these specific chemometric models.

Can I use evrimodel objects for end-to-end chemometric model building?

Yes, evrimodel objects provide the preferred Object-Oriented approach for end-to-end chemometric model building, allowing you to prepare DSOs, apply preprocessing, calibrate, inspect results, and predict new data.

What chemometric modeling techniques are supported by PLS_Toolbox in MATLAB?

PLS_Toolbox in MATLAB supports building and validating models across PCA, PLS, PCR, MCR, and PLSDA techniques, coordinating dataset objects, preprocessing, and model objects for comprehensive chemometric analysis.

Why should I use Object-Oriented workflows instead of function-form for chemometric model building?

Object-Oriented workflows with evrimodel objects are the preferred approach for chemometric model building because they provide a structured pipeline to manage datasets, preprocessing, and model objects more cohesively than direct function-form calls.
