Variations in the dataset is actually the information from the dataset and this is what the PCA uses. In simple terms PCA or Principal component analysis is a process to emphasise variations in a data set and generate strong pattern out of it. We can figure out the whole concepts in 3 points as follows— […]
In case of Principal Component Analysis we project our data points on a vector in a direction of maximum variance to decrease the number of existing components. In this case we consider the direction eigenvector generated using covariance matrix as the direction of maximum variance. In this article we look into the proof of why […]
Eigen vector is the direction in a coordinate space defined by a metrics which doesn’t change its direction with metrics transformation. Eigen value is a scaler number which is multiplied with Eigen vector to give same result as Eigen vector multiplier with existing metrics. Editorial Team
