Σύνοψη	Partial least squares regression predicts a response from many, often highly collinear predictors by projecting them onto a small set of latent components — but, unlike principal components regression, it chooses those components to maximize their covariance with the response, not just the variance of the predictors. This supervised dimension reduction makes PLS a workhorse in chemometrics, spectroscopy, and other wide-data settings where predictors vastly outnumber observations.	Principal components regression first compresses a set of correlated predictors into a few principal components — the directions of greatest variance — and then regresses the response on those components. By discarding low-variance directions, PCR stabilizes estimation in the presence of multicollinearity and high dimensionality, at the cost of choosing components without reference to the response.
