Data sets include far more ancillary information than simple tables of numbers and the DataSet_Object was designed as a standard container that can hold all of this information. The standard DataSet object is similar to a structure object defined in MATLAB but it is intended to standardize how data is organized and maintained. The purpose of this document is to define standards and conventions for the standard DataSet object developed and maintained by Eigenvector Research, Inc. (EVRI). It is the intention of EVRI that the DataSet be of an open architecture and independent of any toolboxes. For example, the DataSet is used in the PLS_Toolbox written by EVRI, but it does not require any of the PLS_Toolbox functions or scripts. Although the open architecture allows for user modifications, suggestions for modifications and enhancements should be forwarded to EVRI (helpdesk@eigenvector.com) who will make free updates available at ([www.eigenvector.com]).

The dataset object is an object designed to be applicable to any data which requires storing axillary information along with the data itself. A typical set of data contains many parts. In spectroscopy, for instance, a data set can contain the matrix of spectra, the wavelength axis, sample labels, sample numbers, class variables, reference variables, etc. In order to facilite data set handling, Eigenvector has created a standard object, the DATASET Object (DSO). This object is free to MATLAB users and is used in all Eigenvector Research products such as PLS_Toolbox and Solo.
