"R": Predicting a Test Set (Gasoline)

> data(gasoline)
> #60 spectra of gasoline (octane is the constituent)
> #We divide the whole Set into a Train Set and a Test Set.

> #Let´s develop the PLSR with the Tain Set and LOO CV

> #It´s fine, we can also consider to choose only two.The RMSEP is 0,234.
> #The CV for the Model with 3 components was: 0,252.
> #Really R is a wonderful tool to develop regressions, and to    understand better all what is behind the algorithms.
> #We can get a lot of literature on internet to start working with R.
> #Thanks to Bjorn-Helge Mevik & Ron Wehres for their good   tutorials about the PLS Package, they help me to understand better this program and to continue learning,(I have ordered some books).
