Principal component analysis

Principal component analysis is a linear dimensionality reduction technique with applications in exploratory data analysis, visualization and data preprocessing.

A scree plot that is meant to help interpret the PCA and decide how many components to retain. The start of the bend in the line (point of inflexion or "knee") should indicate how many components are retained, hence in this example, three factors should be retained.

The above picture is an example of the difference between PCA and Factor Analysis. In the top diagram the "factor" (e.g., career path) represents the three observed variables (e.g., doctor, lawyer, teacher) whereas in the bottom diagram the observed variables (e.g., pre-school teacher, middle school teacher, high school teacher) are reduced into the component of interest (e.g., teacher).

Fractional residual variance (FRV) plots for PCA and NMF; for PCA, the theoretical values are the contribution from the residual eigenvalues. In comparison, the FRV curves for PCA reaches a flat plateau where no signal are captured effectively; while the NMF FRV curves decline continuously, indicating a better ability to capture signal. The FRV curves for NMF also converges to higher levels than PCA, indicating the less-overfitting property of NMF.

In multivariate statistics, a scree plot is a line plot of the eigenvalues of factors or principal components in an analysis. The scree plot is used to determine the number of factors to retain in an

…each eigenvector represents can be calculated by dividing the eigenvalue corresponding to that eigenvector by the sum of all eigenvalues. Biplots and scree plots (degree of explained variance) are used to interpret findings of the PCA. PCA is defined as an orthogonal linear transformation on a real inner product…
