Dynamic PLS modelling for process control

Abstract A modification of the Partial Least-Squares (PLS) modelling procedure is presented which permits incorporation of a dynamic transformation into the standard algebraic form of this model. This makes it possible to use the resulting dynamic PLS model for control system design by employing precompensators and postcompensators constructed from the input and output loading matrices and basing the controller for the compensated plant on the dynamic inner relation of the modified PLS model.
