Hi all,

I am performing OPLS-DA analysis using the ropls package.

I would like to make a plot on the OPLS-DA variable importance, so VIP or loading factor (like this: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/OPLS-DA-scores-plot-and-variable-importance-plot-VIP-plot-for-discriminate-analysis-of_fig1_342444215).

I am working on metabolomics data, and can see that the research in this field most often use the software program SIMCA for it. However, I do not have that software, thus I would like to be able to make such plot.

Do any have any experience with performing OPLS-DA and seeing which metabolites add to the separation?

Thank you very much for any tip you might have!

The vignette shows how to do that. You should read the help pages and vignette first!
