PLS equation validation is a procedure that helps to establish the optimum number of factors
for the equation. This is done by finding a minimum of the PRESS value.

Vision offers four validation methods:

Self Validation - the equation is developed from the training set of spectra, and the validation

set is predicted. The PRESS value is calculated as the sum of squared residuals.

Cross Validation - a moving segment is removed from the training set and predicted by the

equation developed from the remaining samples. In full cross validation only one sample is
removed at a time. The PRESS value is calculated as the sum of squared residuals.

Leverage Validation - the training set itself is predicted. The residuals are then corrected by

the leverage factor. The PRESS value is calculated as the sum of squared residuals.

External Validation - allows the use of selected samples from another product as a prediction

set. The PRESS value is calculated as the sum of squared residuals.
