XLSTAT-PLS is a statistical Excel add-in with advanced modeling tools such as Partial Least Squares (PLS) regression and Principal Component regression (PCR). These regression methods free oneself from some of the constraints of the classical linear regression (OLS or WLS) and analysis of variance, such as the non-colinearity of the explanatory variables and the minimal sample size that must be greater than the number of explanatory variables. Thus, XLSTAT-PLS methods are excellent supplements to the tools contained in our core statistical analysis software - XLSTAT-Pro.

Comments
Paula Cullen I have been delighted with the program to date, and have found it easy to use, and of immense value to my data analysis. It is wonderful not to have to change data from one program to another to carry out analysis.
Hal MacFie Anne Hasted and I use XLSTAT for students to carry out exercises on our hands-on courses. Being inside Excel and with clearly defined dialogue boxes and a very good help system, we find that many attendees opt to buy a permanent license at the end of the course. The MX module has GPA, MFA, Penalty Analysis and Preference mapping and the output is clear, easy to explain and it is simple to paste into Powerpoint, so it is an essential part of our course and a very useful tool for a sensory and consumer scientist. I also use it myself for doing consultancy analyses!
William McNair , Comcast I decided to buy XLSTAT as I just needed a personal stats program that was comprehensive, not expensive and Excel-based. I chose XLSTAT as its Basic module contains a lot of neat stat stuff... and it FULLY integrates with Excel. In addition the modules are accessible to VBA macros and the output tables are predictable (easy to reference with Excel formulas for downstream calculations).
Damien Pruneau, PepsiCo I compared XLSTAT to the software that were already in my company in terms of range of tests, ease-of-use and possibility of controlling details of the analysis as well as the ouptuts (tables and graphs) and decided to buy it. I chose XLSTAT as it is the most complete statistical software, especially for sensory analysis with the dedicated module.
Marianne Elliott, WSU Puyallup I chose XLSTAT as it is easier to use than SAS and doesn't require me to write code, and it can do a large number of statistical tests.
Jeff Aucott, Mining Exploration and Geosystem Associates – MEGA Before deciding on buying XLSTAT I checked about three statistics packages. I chose XLSTAT as it is Excel based, and has a good selection of programs for processing geochemical and mining data. I have recommended it to several mining companies as it is a good package especially for geologists using the software in decision making for mining and exploration.
James C. McGrath, Director of Research I found XLSTAT in 2007 while searching on the web. I was looking for a statistical add-in for Excel to integrate with our internal models we developed for hedge fund research and allocations. XLSTAT was a great discovery. It seemed like an easy choice as the software has a fair price, a rich feature set, is stable, and allows for API-based interactions. It is a great product that I have already recommended to acquaintances who do similar quantitative analysis in Excel.
