Principal Component Analysis and its Applications

Statistics

Creascience
Training Provided by Creascience Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a multivariate method which can identify redundancy or correlation among a set of measurements or variables for the purpose of data reduction. This powerful exploratory tool provides insightful graphical summaries with ability to include additional information as well.
This training course discusses the limitations of traditional descriptive tools for exploring datasets with several variables and presents how PCA can:
  • Summarize large sets of data
  • Identify structure, trends in the data
  • Identify redundancy, correlation in the data
  • Produce insightful graphical displays of the results
  • This is primarily ilt training
    group study and discussionThis class may involve group study
    instructor led trainingThis class may be available at a classroom in Montreal, QC,
