Richard A. Harshman

Last updated

Richard A. Harshman was a member of the Department of Psychology of the University of Western Ontario since 1976, rising in the ranks to the level of Full Professor. He died suddenly on Thursday, January 10, 2008. [1]

He was one of the pioneers of Latent semantic analysis. He made important contributions in psychometrics including the analysis of asymmetric square tables and the analysis of multiway tables. His work on parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) is used in biomedical applications, Chemometrics, and Wireless communications. [ citation needed ]

Harshman also invented three-way chess rules. [2]

Chemometrics is the science of extracting information from chemical systems by data-driven means. Chemometrics is inherently interdisciplinary, using methods frequently employed in core data-analytic disciplines such as multivariate statistics, applied mathematics, and computer science, in order to address problems in chemistry, biochemistry, medicine, biology and chemical engineering. In this way, it mirrors other interdisciplinary fields, such as psychometrics and econometrics.

Partial least squares regression is a statistical method that bears some relation to principal components regression; instead of finding hyperplanes of maximum variance between the response and independent variables, it finds a linear regression model by projecting the predicted variables and the observable variables to a new space. Because both the X and Y data are projected to new spaces, the PLS family of methods are known as bilinear factor models. Partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) is a variant used when the Y is categorical.
