Principal loading analysis

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: This paper proposes a tool for dimension reduction where the dimension of the original space is reduced: a Principal Loading Analysis (PLA). PLA is a tool to reduce dimensions by discarding variables. The intuition is that variables are dropped which distort the covariance matrix only by a little. Our method is introduced and an algorithm for conducting PLA is provided. Further, we give bounds for the noise arising in the sample case.


Principal component analysis (PCA) is one of the most popular data mining techniques in multivariate analysis. The main contribution of this manuscript is a novel approach where dimension reduction employes selection of a subset from the observed variables based on non-impact in the eigenvectors.
