  /// <summary>
  /// This is a .NET example in C# showing Partial Least Squares (PLS) scores
  /// and loadings.
  /// In chemometrics one often wishes to know the chemical composition of a
  /// sample of, say, a gas or liquid. One common technique is to study the 
  /// absorption spectrum of light passing through the sample. Partial Least 
  /// Squares (PLS) is often used to construct a predictive model in this 
  /// situation. Suppose we  wish to measure the concentration of m different 
  /// constituents in the substance and that we look at n different 
  /// absorption spectra (an absorption spectra measures the amount of light 
  /// absorbed at each wavelength). Pick p different wavelengths in the 
  /// absorption spectra and let A = {aij} be the be the nxp matrix where aij 
  /// is the absorption measurement at the jth wavelength in the ith sample. 
  /// And let C = {cij} be the nxm matrix where cij is the concentration of 
  /// the jth constituent in the ith sample. This example constructs a 
  /// predictive model for C given A using PLS. In particular the scores and 
  /// loadings for the response variable, C, and the predictor variable, A, 
  /// are examined.
