PCA IN MACHINE

NEED FOR PCA
➢ High Dimension Data is
extremely complex to process
due to inconsistency in the
features.
➢ Increase the computation
time and make data
processing hard.
BENEFITS OF PCA
➢ Better perspective
and less complexity.
➢ Better visualization.
➢ Size reduction.
WHAT IS PCA????
The main idea of principal component
analysis (PCA) is to reduce the
dimensionality of a data set consisting
of many variables correlated with each
other, either heavily or lightly, while
retaining the variation present in the
dataset, up to the maximum extent.

 EIGENVECTORS AND EIGENVALUES

➢ Principal Components are the new set of variables that are

obtained from the initial set of variables. They compress and
possess most of the useful information that was scattered
among the initial variables.
➢ Eigenvectors are those vectors when a linear transformation
is performed on them, then their direction does not change.
➢ Eigenvalues simple denote the scalars of the respective
eigenvectors
COMPUTING THE PRINCIPAL COMPONENTS

➢ PC1 is the most significant

and stores the maximum
possible information.
➢ PC2 is the second most
significant PC and stores
remaining maximum
information and so on.
