Summary:The boostrap is a successful technique to obtain confidence limits for estimates where it is theoretically impossible to establish an exact expression thereunto. Trilinear partial least squares regression (tri-PLS) is an estimator for which this is the case; in the current paper we thus propose to apply the bootstrap in order to obtain confidence intervals for the predictions made by tri-PLS. By dint of an extensive simulation study, we show that bootstrap confidence intervals have a desirable coverage. Finally, we apply the method to an identification problem of micro-organisms and show that from the bootstrap confidence intervals, the organisms can (up to a misclassification probability of 3.5%) correctly be identified.
