Abstract
In this paper we discuss how partial least squares regression (PLS) can be applied to the analysis of complex process data. PLS models are here used to: (i) accomplish a better understanding of the underlying relations of the process; (ii) monitor the performance of the process by means of multivariate control charts; and (iii) build predictive models for inferential control. The strategies for applying PLS to process data are described in detail and illustrated by an example in which low-density polyethylene production is simulated.
