Table 2: PLS-DA statistical data and confusion matrix for the 36 biostimulant samples using the 14 amino acid variables. Cross validation leave one out method was used by setting a maximum of twelve latent variables. In confusion matrix, true classes are read along the columns and estimated classes along the rows. The total accuracy was also reported. Cal: Calibration; CV: Cross Validation.
