Thus, rapid and accurate detection methods for pesticide residues need to be established. In this study, ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy coupled with support vector regression and variable selection methods was used to quantitatively detect the content of imidacloprid in apple juice. First, the UV spectra of diff erent imidacloprid concentrations in apple juice were collected, and the acquired spectra were preprocessed by Savitzky–Golay smoothing. Then, the feature variables were selected by the variable iterative space shrinkage approach (VISSA), iteratively retains informative variables (IRIV), and random frog (RF) algorithms. Finally, particle swarm optimization support vector regression (PSOSVR) prediction models based on the feature variables and the full-spectrum variables were established to detect imidacloprid in apple juice.

The stage of selecting the number of components is one of the most difficult when using factor analysis. The widely used method of analyzing loads when splitting the original set into halves in many cases does not allow a determination of the best model because of the closeness of their statistical estimates. Because the use of regularization with a penalty for the sum of parameter modules tends to lead to sparse solutions in which some of the coefficients are equal to zero, the use of this approach allows one to select those variables that carry useful information.
