Dear R-helpers,
I have performed a PLS regression with the mvr function from the pls.pcr package an I
have 2 questions :
1- do you know if mvr automatically centers the data ? It seems to me that it does
so...
2- why in the situation below does the output say that the optimal number of latent
variables is 4 ? In my humble opinion, it is 2 because the RMS increases and the R2
decreases when 3 LVs are considered :

Data: X dimension: 8 1050
Y dimension: 8 1
Method: SIMPLS
Number of latent variables considered: 1-7
TRAINING:
