The objective of the probabilistic partial least square (PPLS) algorithm is to maximize the correlation of scores of process variables and quality variables, and imposes no restriction on residuals, which will result in large information containing in the residuals. The paper proposes a PPLS algorithm based on re-extraction of residuals. After the development of the PPLS model, this algorithm performs further decomposition on residuals to obtain another set of scores and residuals. As a result, process variables and quality variables can be projected into the correlation score subspace, the score subspace for the quality-irrelevant process variables, the residual subspace for process variables, the score subspace for un-predicted quality variables, and the residual subspace for quality variables. To identify the parameters, the maximum-likelihood method along with the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm is employed. Moreover, by constructing the monitoring statistics, this model is introduced into process monitoring, and its application in the numerical simulation case illustrates its validity.
