Principal components • Model and concept • No Y’s, no model. • Partition, with maximum separation, of total variance into orthogonal components. • Assumptions and screening • Geometry of concept • Procedure and analysis • Potential problems AGR206
Assumptions for PCA (1) • Normality. • Not required, but enhances results. • Multivariate normality can be tested by squared Mahalanobis distance. • D2~c2 (p) df=number of variables. • Extremely sensitive; use low a. • Linearity. • Assumed. • Can be inspected by scatterplots. • If violated, use transformation. AGR206
Assumptions of PCA (2) • Minimum number of cases. • Must be very large for fuzzy variables, and to yield general results. • T&F say 300; agricultural and biological papers published with 30 or more. • Outliers. • Very important to fix! • Outliers violate MV normality. • Identify by jackknifed squared Mahalanobis distance. • Transform or delete; fully document.

Eigenvalues • Eigenvalues are the variances of each PC. • They add up to total variance. • When based on correlation matrix (i.e. standardized variables) their sum equals the number of variables. • Their values can be used to identify the degree of collinearity and where is comes from. • Condition index or number (CN). • Square root of the largest l divided by l for the PC being considered. • CN>30 => problem for MLR (not PCA).

Loadings • Correlation between each variable and each PC. • For variable Zi (standardized)and PCj • r = lj0.5 vij • If based on covariances, use r = vij (sj/si) • Loadings represent the degree of association between the variable and the PC. • Loadings are used to create Gabriel’s biplot. AGR206
Gabriel’s Biplot AGR206
Potential problems • Depend on goal. • Detection of collinearity. • Reduction of dimensions. • Correlation or covariance matrix? • PC’s hard to interpret. • All l’s about the same size. • How many PC’s should be retained? • Scree plot. • Retain if l>average. • Retain as many necessary for 80%.
