    This document discusses dimension reduction techniques, specifically principal component analysis (PCA). It explains that PCA is used to reduce the number of predictors by finding a set of new variables that contain most of the information from the original variables, eliminating covariation and multicollinearity. It notes that PCA is applied to the training data partition to obtain principal score columns, and those principal weights are then applied to the validation partition to obtain scores. Finally, it lists some key references on data science, big data analytics, and data mining techniques.

    DIMENSION REDUCTION TECHNIQUES

    • Principal Component Analysis (PCA)


    – Used for reducing the no. of predictors
    – Used for quantitative variables
    – Highly correlated variable subsets
    – Main idea is to find a set of new variables that contains most of the information of
    original variables
    – Eliminating covariation and multicollinearity
    – Redistribution of variability

    DIMENSION REDUCTION TECHNIQUES

    • Principal Component Analysis (PCA)


    – Data Mining Process
    • Apply PCA to the training partition
    • Predictors would now be principal score columns
    • Apply the principal weights obtained from training partition to the variables in the
    validation partition to obtain the scores
    – Relationship between predictors and output variable is ignored
