Principal component analysis (Principal Component Analysis, PCA) or PCA. Is a statistical method to grasp the principal contradiction of things, it can be resolved diverse things out the main factors, revealing the essence of things, simplifying complex problems. The purpose of calculating the main component of high-dimensional data is projected to a lower dimensional space. Given n variables of m observations, forming an n ' m of the data matrix, n is usually large. For a complex matters described by several variables, it is difficult to know, so if you can grab something to focus on key aspects of analysis? If the main aspects of things just reflected on several key variables, we only need to separate out these few variables, for detailed analysis. However, in general, does not directly identify this critical variables. Then we can represent the major aspects of things with a linear combination of the original variables, PCA is one such analysis.
