The implementation in simpls.fit follows the algorithm in
de Jong, S. (1993) SIMPLS: an alternative approach to partial
least squares regression. _Chemometrics and Intelligent
Laboratory Systems_, *18*, 251-263.
(up to simplifications and performance changes). I don't recall if the
criterion was cov or cov^2, but I believe they should be identical (up
to sign).
