Partial Least Squares (PLS) regression emerged as an alternative to ordinary least squares for addressing multicollinearity in a wide range of scientific applications. As multidimensional tensor data is becoming more widespread, tensor adaptations of PLS have been developed. Our investigations reveal that the previously established asymptotic result of the PLS estimator for a tensor response breaks down as the tensor dimensions and the number of features increase relative to the sample size. To address this, we propose Sparse Higher Order Partial Least Squares (SHOPS) regression and an accompanying algorithm. SHOPS simultaneously accommodates variable selection, dimension reduction, and tensor association denoising. We establish the asymptotic accuracy of the SHOPS algorithm under a high-dimensional regime and verify these results through comprehensive simulation experiments, and applications to two contemporary high-dimensional biological data analysis.
