Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a multivariate analysis that reduces the complexity of datasets while preserving data covariance. The outcome can be visualized on colorful scatterplots, ideally with only a minimal loss of information. PCA applicati
Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a simple yet popular and useful linear transformation technique that is used in numerous applications, such as stock market predictions, the analysis of gene expression data, and many more. In this tutorial, we will see that PCA is not just a “black box...
As you read this article, you might think that principal component analysis sounds like factor analysis. While there are similarities, there are also stark differences. Mathematically and conceptually, the two analyses differ. Factor analysis incorporates conceptually understandable latent factors into the ...
Therefore, there are infinite directions to choose from and the second principal component is chosen to be the direction of maximum variance in this plane. As you may have guessed, the third principal component is simply the direction perpendicular to both the first and second principal components...
However, they are still global analysis in the sense that they do not allow to obtain results for to each spatial position, such as the ’winner variables’ (those with the highest loadings) or the percentage of variance explained for each component. Locally weighted PCA (LWPCA), as well ...
The examples presented do not simply repeat the analyses of the original study, but instead extend them in the context of simultaneous application of PCA and cluster analysis. Our results show that constructing a one dimensional (1D) "degradation index" using only the first principal component (...
Principal Component Analysis, or PCA, is a dimensionality-reduction method that is often used to reduce the dimensionality of large data sets, by transforming a large set of variables into a smaller one that still contains most of the information in the large set. ...
While exploratory factor analysis has the goal of explaining why observed variables relate to each other (because of the influence of the latent variable on the observed variables), principal components analysis has the goal of simply describing the observed variables that relate to each other and ...
