R2X different with missing values and OPLS/O2PLS (Q682)

The information in this article applies to:

  • SIMCA-P+ 12
  • SIMCA-P+ 12.0.1

Symptoms

For an OPLS/O2PLS model built on a dataset with missing values, the R2X value displayed in a list or plot from the Plot/List menu differs from the one displayed in the model window.

Cause

R2X can be calculated in two different ways:

A: R2X = 1-ss(X-TP’)/ss(X)

B: R2X = ss(TP’)/ss(X)

For datasets with full X matrices (no missing values) A and B are equivalent. When there exist missing values however, the residuals are not orthogonal to the model which means that neither A nor B is mathematically correct.

Expression A is used in the model window and B in Plot/List.

Workaround

Use the R2X-value found in the model window.

Status

In future versions of SIMCA only expression A will to be used resulting in a more consistent R2X value for models with missing values.
