Dear friends,
I am a PhD student at Erasmus Medical Centre, Rotterdam, The Netherlands. I
found the R package "pls", which is very handy and useful. This package
descibes how to use Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR) and Principal
Component Regression (PCR).
Would you mind to kindly answer the following?
Logistic regression (LR) is a commonly used method in medical science to make a
prediction model for binary outcome variable. This is fine, and I would like to
apply (if applicable) PLSR and PCR to construct a prediction model for binary
outcome variable, and will check whether PLSR or PCR method helps to make
better model compare to LR method, in the sence of discrimination and
goodness-of-fit (calibration). However, I am not sure whether the R package
"pls" allows to construct such a model.
I will be pleased if you kindly let me know whether PLSR ( or PCR) method is
applicable for binary outcome variable.
Thank you very much for your suggestions.
Kind regards,
Suman Kundu
