Abstract: This paper examines several applications of principal component analysis (PCA) to physical systems. The first of these demonstrates that the principal components in a basis of appropriate system variables can be employed to identify physically conserved quantities. That is, if the general form of a physical symmetry law is known, the PCA can identify an algebraic expression for the symmetry from the observed system trajectories. Secondly, the eigenvalue spectrum of the principal component spectrum for homogeneous periodic spin systems is found to reflect the geometric shape of the boundary. Finally, the PCA is employed to generate synthetic spin realizations with probability distributions in energy-magnetization space that closely resemble that of the input realizations although statistical quantities are inaccurately reproduced.
