Discarding Variables in a Principal Component Analysis. I: Artificial Data
暂无分享,去创建一个
Often, results obtained from the use of principal component analysis are little changed if some of the variables involved are discarded beforehand. This paper examines some of the possible methods for deciding which variables to reject and these rejection methods are tested on artificial data containing variables known to be “redundant”. It is shown that several of the rejection methods, of differing types, each discard precisely those variables known to be redundant, for all but a few sets of data.
