Dear all: I am comparing the PLS outputs of R and SAS for the following data set: Y x1 x2 x3 3 6 2 2 3 1 5 5 4 7 4 1 5 6 5 6 2 4 3 2 8 5 0 9 where Y is the dependent variable and x1, x2, x3 are the independent variables. I found several PLS algorithms in R (NIPALS,SIMPLS,KERNEL PLS). SAS has SIMPLS and NIPALS. The following are the NIPALS calculations of the regression coefficients for the above data using 2 principal components: Using R: x1 0.4002324 x2 -0.2679829 x3 0.5684680
Using SAS: x1 0.4671608452 x2 -.1537662492 x3 0.6090024992 Why is the discrepancy very large? I observed that SAS and Minitab have the same output, but the R output is very different. Using the SIMPLS algorithm also produced R and SAS outputs that are different. Any clarification on this matter will be greatly appreciated.
