Principal Component Analysis
  • Goal: Find orthogonal directions of maximum variance in data
  • PC1: Direction with highest variance
  • PC2: Direction with second highest variance, orthogonal to PC1
  • Dimensionality Reduction: Keep top components, discard others
Understanding Results
  • Scree Plot: Shows variance explained by each component
  • Loadings: Contribution of original features to each PC
  • Biplot: Shows data points and feature vectors together
  • Cumulative Variance: Total variance captured by selected components
  • Elbow Method: Look for bend in scree plot to choose number of components
