A good way to see where this article is headed is to take a look at the screen shot of a demo program shown in Figure 1. The demo sets up a dummy dataset of six items: [ 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2] [ 5.4 3.9 1.7 ...

Transforming a dataset into one with fewer columns is more complicated than it might seem, explains Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research in this full-code, step-by-step machine learning tutorial.

PCA is an important tool for dimensionality reduction in data science and to compute grasp poses for robotic manipulation from point cloud data. PCA can also directly used within a larger machine ...

A method is presented that constrains principal components analysis (PCA) to extract a first component that, by definition, summarizes isometric size alone. The remaining information is partitioned ...
