Questions and Answers

What is the primary goal of PCA?

  • To improve model interpretability by adding features
  • To create new data points
  • To reduce dimensionality while preserving variance (correct)
  • To increase the number of features

Which step comes first in the general application of PCA?

  • Compute the covariance matrix
  • Calculate the eigenvectors
  • Standardize the data (correct)
  • Choose principal components

What does an eigenvector represent in the context of PCA?

  • The mean of the data
  • The median of the data
  • The amount of variance explained by a principal component
  • The direction of the principal component (correct)
