Bibliography

Through envelopes, more has been learned about PLS regression, resulting in a mass of information that allows an envelope bridge that takes PLS regression from a black-box algorithm to a core statistical paradigm based on objective function optimization. This book?develops this bridge.

R. Dennis Cook is Professor Emeritus, School of Statistics, University of Minnesota. His research areas include dimension reduction, linear and nonlinear regression, experimental design, statistical diagnostics, statistical graphics, and population genetics. Perhaps best known for Cooks Distance, a now ubiquitous statistical method, he has authored over 250 research articles, two textbooks and three research monographs. He is a five-time recipient of the Jack Youden Prize for Best Expository Paper in Technometrics as well as the Frank Wilcoxon Award for Best Technical Paper. He received the 2005 COPSS Fisher Lecture and Award, and is a Fellow of ASA and IMS.
