Dear Community,
I would like a question regarding the use of Partial Least Square Regression Analysis. Basically ,I am confused in units. For example, I have Year 1, Year 2, Year 3 land cover and Water Balance Components. The units of Water Balance Components are "mm", while the units of each landcover type for year 1, 2 and 3 are in square Km. I am confused how the different units will perform the PLSR test.
Either, I have to use the % difference in each Year or % of particular landcover type to the total area of the basin and similarly convert the water balance variables from "mm" to percentage.
Looking for a guidance. Please teach me.
Regards
