Principal Component Analysis explained visually

8/22/2021

This webpage provides an interactive visualization and explanation of Principal Component Analysis (PCA). PCA is a statistical technique used to simplify high-dimensional data by identifying the most important features or variables. The article breaks down the steps involved in PCA, such as centering the data, calculating covariance matrix, and finding eigenvectors and eigenvalues. The interactive visualization allows users to experiment with different datasets and see how PCA transforms the data. It also provides a clear explanation of the underlying mathematics and concepts behind PCA, making it a useful resource for anyone looking to understand and apply this technique.
