I have switched from The Unscrambler to R for pls regression analysis and have been able to calculate scores, coefficients, RMSEP from a large number of PLS1 and PLS2 models. The ultimate goal is to use these models for predicting unknown samples, which again is straight-forward with the built-in predict() function. However, I?m struggling with prediction uncertainty (i.e. confidence intervals) on predicted values (as an estimate on the reliability of the predicted values). Has anyone looked into and/or developed an algorithm or function that calculates the prediction uncertainty? In order to report on the accuracy and reliability of the predicted values, we need to report on the yDeviation (as in http://www.camo.com/TheUnscrambler/Appendices/The%20Unscrambler%20Method%20References.pdf on page 31). I have extensively read and searched the available literature on plsr, mvr, predict, etc. as well as the Nabble forums but I couldn't find any reference to this kind of uncertainty values. I am considering writing my own function for this, but if this has already been addressed, it would be most helpful and would save me a lot of time.
