PLS is a relatively flexible algorithm which produces a minimal number of factor solutions when attempting to relate one complex matrix to another.

Although it has a well established heuristic base the distributional properties of estimators from the PLS are not known.

It can be difficult, sometimes, to interpret loadings. This is particularly the case where judgement is needed in the scaling of variables before applying PLS, for example, with binary variables where there may be no natural scale.
