Establishing Multivariate Specification Regions for Incoming Raw Materials Using Projection to Latent Structure Models: Comparison Between Direct Mapping and Model Inversion

Establishing multivariate specification regions for selecting incoming lot of raw materials is a key solution to mitigate this issue. Two data-driven approaches emerge from the literature for defining these specifications in the latent space of Projection to Latent Structure (PLS) models. The first is based on a direct mapping of good quality final product and associated lots of raw materials in the latent space, followed by selection of boundaries that minimize or best balance type I and II errors. The second rather defines specification regions by inverting the PLS model for each point lying on final product acceptance limits. The objective of this paper is to compare both methods to determine their advantages and drawbacks, and to assess their classification performance in presence of different levels of correlation between the quality attributes. The comparati...
