The improvement in the class-models is achieved through the use of multi-response PLS models with theclasses encoded via Error-Correcting Output Codes (ECOC), instead of the traditional class indicator variablesused in chemometrics.The proposed PLS2-CM entails a decomposition of a class-modelling problem into a series of binary learners,based on a family of code matrices with different code length, which are evaluated to obtain simultaneouscompliant class-models with the best performance.The methodology develops both a new encoding system, based on multi-criteria optimization to search foroptimal coding matrices, and a new decoding system, based on probability thresholds to assign objects to classmodels. The whole procedure implies that the characteristics of the dataset at hand affect the final selection of thecoding matrix and therefore of built class-models, thus giving rise to a data-driven strategy.The application of PLS2-CM to a variety of cases (controlled data, experimental data and repository datasets)results in an enhanced class-modelling performance by means of the suggested procedure, as measured by theDMCEN (Diagonal Modified Confusion Entropy) index and by sensitivity-specificity matrices. The predictiveability of the compliant class-models has been evaluated.
