Big data value creation : an entanglement of capabilities view-findings from PLS-SEM and fsQCA
… hypothesised interactions were evaluated through PLS-SEM and fsQCA statistical methods. The findings reported statistical significance between BDAC and FPer, BDAC and DDC and DDC and FPer. More importantly, a full indirect mediation of the interaction of DDC on the BDAC Ð FPer relationship was …

Studies on the POLARIS gene of Arabidopsis
The POLARIS (PLS) gene of Arabidopsis encodes a 36 amino acid peptide required for correct root growth and vascular patterning. Previous work indicates that PLS acts as a negative regulator of ethylene signalling. The pls mutant has enhanced ethylene signalling, which is the key determinant of its …

Evaluating The Utility of Clinical Criteria For The Identification of Lynch Syndrome Among Endometrial Cancer Patients
… PMS2 were designated as probable Lynch Syndrome (PLS). For tumors exhibiting immunohistochemical loss of MLH1, we used the PCR-based <em>MLH1</em> methylation assay to delineate PLS tumors from sporadic tumors. Samples lacking methylation of the <em>MLH1</em> promoter were also designated as PLS. …

Setting up learning opportunities to teach social skills
… instructions. The Preschool Life Skills (PLS) program was first established as a class-wide teaching program for regularly growing preschool children, and it teaches instruction following, functional communication, delay tolerance, and friendship skills. These abilities were selected for …

Physical Layer Security in Millimeter-Wave Communication
… cryptographic keys, physical layer security (PLS) is another effective technique to achieve secret communication. The inherent randomness of wireless channels are exploited to ensure the confidential information carried by the signals can only be obtained by the target users, but not by the …

The construction of a partial least squares biplot
… possible employment is in Partial Least Squares (PLS). First introduced as a regression method, PLS is more flexible than multivariate regression, but better suited than Principal Component Regression (PCR) for the prediction of a set of response variables from a large set of predictor variables. …

Constructive global analysis of hybrid systems
… systems known as Piecewise Linear Systems (PLS). These are characterized by a finite number of affine linear dynamical models together with a set of rules for switching among these models. Even for simple classes of PLS, very little theoretical results are known. More precisely, one …

Quantification of swelling clays in mineral mixtures and rocks using infrared spectroscopy.
… of a chemometric method, partial least squares (PLS) regression and the infrared technique, diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) was developed for the quantification of minerals in synthetic mixtures and sandstone rocks. Particular emphasis was directed towards …

Physical layer security for IoT applications
… this regards, employing physical layer security (PLS) methods could be greatly beneficial for IoT networks. While current security solutions rely on computational complexity, PLS is based on information theoretic proofs. By removing the need for computational power, PLS is ideally suited for …

IP Algorithm Applied to Proteomics Data
… assumptions on the data. Partial Least Squares (PLS) is an algorithm commonly used with proteomics data from mass spectrometry in order to reduce the dimension of the data. The IP algorithm and a PLS algorithm were applied to proteomics data from mass spectrometry to reduce the dimension of the …

Inferences on high-dimensional data
… analysis (PCA) and partial least squares (PLS), are used for regression and classification. We show that the null distribution of the PLS ""f-test"" statistic, which is obtained from one factor PLS regression, depends heavily on the design. A simulation method is suggested to compute the …

Using satellite hyperspectral imagery to map soil organic matter, total nitrogen and total phosphorus
… P concentration through partial least squares (PLS) regressions. The samples were split into two datasets: one for calibration, and the other for validation. High PLS performance was observed during the calibration for SOM and total N regardless of the type of the reflectance spectra, and for …

Riemannian statistical techniques with applications in fMRI
… is Riemannian partial least squares (R-PLS), the generalisation of the predictive modelling technique partial least squares (PLS) (H. Wold, 1975) to Riemannian manifolds. R-PLS extends geodesic regression (Fletcher, 2013) to manifold-valued response and predictor variables, similar to …

Evaluation of the challenges to project delivery confronting project leaders in the dynamic human settlement environment
… segregated population. Project Leaders (PLs) are saddled with the responsibility of housing delivery and managing diverse stakeholders. Although project management is the driving force behind the provision of housing delivery, the project process is not free from dynamics. These housing …
