Hello,
I would like to make a PLS regression with the Proc PLS. I have some missing values in my dataset but I thought that the NIPALS algorithm could run with it. By default, it’s not true. There is a MISSING option in the procedure: with MISSING=NONE, observations with any missing variables are excluded from the analysis; with the two others options, AVG and EM, missing values are replaced by estimations. I think that is contradictory with what the NIPALS algorithm allows. Could you correct me if I make a mistake? Otherwise, how is it possible to run the Proc PLS with the NIPALS algorithm and missing values?

Thanks.

You are right that in theory, the NIPALS algorithm can be run with missing values for some data.

However, I believe that the PROC PLS implementation of NIPALS doesn't allow for missing values. You have to use MISSING=EM or MISSING=AVG, which as you said, fills in estimated values.
