Assessment of PLSDA cross validation

Johan A. Westerhuis, Huub C. J. Hoefsloot, Suzanne Smit et al. · 23 Jan 2008

Classifying groups of individuals based on their metabolic profile is one of the main topics in metabolomics research. Due to the low number of individuals compared to the large number of variables, this is not an easy task. PLSDA is one of the data analysis methods used for the classification. Unfortunately this method eagerly overfits…

Capillary electrophoresis mass spectrometry-based saliva metabolomics identified oral, breast and pancreatic cancer-specific profiles

Masahiro Sugimoto, David T. Wong, Akiyoshi Hirayama et al. · 9 Sep 2009

Saliva is a readily accessible and informative biofluid, making it ideal for the early detection of a wide range of diseases including cardiovascular, renal, and autoimmune diseases, viral and bacterial infections and, importantly, cancers. Saliva-based diagnostics, particularly those based on metabolomics technology, are emerging and offer a promising clinical strategy, characterizing the association between salivary…

Translational biomarker discovery in clinical metabolomics: an introductory tutorial

Jianguo Xia, David Broadhurst, Michael Wilson et al. · 3 Dec 2012

Metabolomics is increasingly being applied towards the identification of biomarkers for disease diagnosis, prognosis and risk prediction. Unfortunately among the many published metabolomic studies focusing on biomarker discovery, there is very little consistency and relatively little rigor in how researchers select, assess or report their candidate biomarkers. In particular, few studies report any measure of…

Double-check: validation of diagnostic statistics for PLS-DA models in metabolomics studies

Ewa Szymańska, Edoardo Saccenti, Age K. Smilde et al. · 7 Jul 2011

Partial Least Squares-Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA) is a PLS regression method with a special binary 'dummy' y-variable and it is commonly used for classification purposes and biomarker selection in metabolomics studies. Several statistical approaches are currently in use to validate outcomes of PLS-DA analyses e.g. double cross validation procedures or permutation testing. However, there is a…

Metabolomics template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Metabolomics format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Metabolomics template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Springer Nature format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Metabolomics use?
Metabolomics uses Superscript numbered (Nature) references, shown as superscript numerals in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A., Jones, B. & Lee, C. A representative article title. Metabolomics 12, 45–58 (2023).
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Metabolomics?
No. DocuGuru generates the sn-jnl LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Springer Nature-ready Metabolomics document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Metabolomics template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Metabolomics format with correct headings, figures, tables, and superscript citations.
Who publishes Metabolomics?
Metabolomics is a multidisciplinary journal published by Springer Nature. DocuGuru's Metabolomics template matches Springer Nature's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Metabolomics PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Metabolomics template (the sn-jnl class) that is ready to submit to Springer Nature, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Metabolomics template cost?
You can start writing in the Metabolomics template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Metabolomics PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
