If you read the manual for R2 in the pls package, it will tell you how R2 is calculated there, and that for _training_ data it is indeed PCC^2, but _not_ for cross-validation or test data. IMHO, R^2 only has a meaningful interpretation for training data. For test data or cross-validation, I prefer MSEP or RMSEP. -- Regards, Bjørn-Helge Mevik ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
