Notes. nLV – number of latent variables. Rc2 – determination coefficient of calibration. Rp2 – determination coefficient of prediction. RMSEC – root mean square error of calibration. RMSEP – root mean square error of prediction. Models were built by partial least squares method under different variable selection methods and no method. The statistical results were expressed as mean ± standard deviation of 50 runs.
