fastica和pca区别_【求助】PCA与OPLS的区别？

PCA actually is used to projected on the whole dataset and the aim here is to find the outlier,trend and other relevant information(screening the whole dataset), from which you can find a lot of info from loading plot and score plot in Simca-P. As for OPLS actually it is a modification to PLS. PLS is an extension of PCA(PLS is to find the relation between x data and y response), OPLS is orthonal PLS that means this method is mainly from PLS, the only difference here is to show you the related variables in x data with regard to y data, and also non-related variables(orthogonal). As you said above people chose the top 10-20 samples for OPLS assay with PCA and this is in fact from DOE. In MVDA application. the main step is first PCA then PLS(sometimes PCA is very useful for you to get a overview of the data, and there are many variants of PLS,such as PLS-DA,OPLS,etc )
