Principal Component Analysis (PCA) Tutorial

What is PCA?

The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a classical multivariate statistics technique, one of the most useful data modeling for feature selection, dimensional reduction and visualization. Using PCA, many variables of your data can be reduced into a few components. The success of PCA lies on its capability to capture more significant underlying-structure of the data, and at the same time, it removes the noise or trivial redundancies in the data. By extracting the maximum variance in the data and removing the correlation at the same time, PCA is able to extract the information that are invariant and insensitive to variation within each class of data.

This unique PCA tutorial would give you a very gentle introduction to a feature extraction, and dimensional reduction. In feature extraction, it would help you selecting certain features, which would contain most information content in the data. In dimensional reduction, the original dataset is transformed into a new dataset such that the number of variables in the new dataset is reduced to be much lesser than the number of variables in the original dataset. When we reduce the number of dimension, it simplifies the process to find the pattern of association and you may probably visualize the pattern. By reading and do the practice of the numerical examples of this tutorial to the end, at least you will be able to ready to read other more advanced PCA books.
