Dear all

I'm thinking of trying Partial least sqaures (PLS) analysis on my
isotopic and geochemical data. Not being a statistician (I can
barely spell the word) my mind went AAAARRRGHH!!! when I found a
brief reference to the equation in a stats book. Could anyone
recommend a good read where this technique is concerned ie "advanced
stats for complete idiots."  The only other alternative is to go and
talk to the stats dept and the're creatures from another planet (well
they certainly talk a different language).
Cheers
Bob
