Abstract
Partial least squares (PLS) was first introduced by Wold in the mid 1960s as a heuristic algorithm to solve linear least squares (LS) problems. No optimality property of the algorithm was known then. Since then, however, a number of interesting properties have been established about the PLS algorithm for regression analysis (called PLS1). This paper shows that the PLS estimator for a specific dimensionality S is a kind of constrained LS estimator confined to a Krylov subspace of dimensionality S. Links to the Lanczos bidiagonalization and conjugate gradient methods are also discussed from a somewhat different perspective from previous authors.
