Stand-alone graphical chemometrics environment powered by PLS_Toolbox

Solo is stand-alone software which allows the user to perform PLS, PCA and many other multivariate analyses in a point-and-click environment. It includes the main PLS_Toolbox graphical user interfaces, but MATLAB is not required!

Convenience - Solo provides the Graphical Interfaces for quickly managing and analyzing data, authoring and applying models and interpreting results. Data can be imported from a variety of different file types and quickly assembled into convenient DataSet objects. Once in a DataSet object the user can easily manage labels, axis scales, and classes and can include/exclude data from the analysis with a click. Modeling and analyzing results is just a matter of drag-and-drop of the data to our comprehensive Analysis GUI. With an integrated modeling guide and access to a large number of analysis and preprocessing techniques, this GUI provides a modeling environment appropriate for novice and expert users alike. Supporting Solo tools provide access to other methods such as variable selection and data review.

Compatibility - Solo is deigned so that model and data files are completely compatible with PLS_Toolbox and MATLAB. This means that people working with Solo can easily collaborate with PLS_Toolbox users sending data, models, or even preprocessing schemes and custom techniques!

Solo includes...

• Data Exploration and Pattern Recognition (Principal Components Analysis, Parallel Factor Analysis, MCR, Purity...)
• Classification (SIMCA, PLS Discriminant Analysis, Cluster Analysis with Dendograms...)
• Regression Modeling (PLS, Principal Components Regression, Multiple Linear Regression...)
• Self-modeling Curve Resolution, Pure Variable Methods (Multivariate Curve Resolution, CODA_DW, Purity (compare to SIMPLSMA), CompareLCMS...)
• Instrument Standardization (Piece-wise Direct, Generalized Least Squares Preprocessing...)
• Multivariate Statistical Process Control Modeling (PCA, Multiway PCA, PARAFAC...)
• Advanced Graphical Data Set Editing and Visualization Tools
• Advanced Customizable Order-Specific Preprocessing (Centering, Scaling, Smoothing, Derivatizing...)
• Missing Data Support
• Variable Selection (Genetic algorithms, purity-based analysis...)
