In-Depth Information
The last row in Table 3.1 provides an estimate of standard prediction error for
each element, obtained using the Jackknife resampling approach [66-68]. Basically,
when performing leave-one-out cross validation, 50 PLS sub-models are fitted to
subsets of X F and Y . If predictions obtained using each sub-model are stored, then
one can use these 50 prediction vectors to estimate the model uncertainties ( i.e. ,
SE Jackkni f e ). Measurement uncertainties (including sampling, handling, and analyti-
cal errors) were, unfortunately, not evaluated in this study.

Figure 3.15 Concentrate grade prediction results obtained for the tests on collector, air, and activa-
tor flow rates at Agnico-Eagle/Laronde's zinc circuit. PLS model predictions (-), grade assays (

Time series of model predictions compared with laboratory grade assays are
shown in Figure 3.15. The results for the three tests (collector, air, activator) are
