When some observations are outlying (in one or several dimensions) PCA is distorted an may lead to incorrect results.

To illustrate the importance of outliers in PCA I would like to present a simple analysis identifying the underlying factors of academic excellence calling both the classical PCA and the robust PCA and relying on the rankings of Universities.
