Principal Components Regression, Pt.1: The Standard Method

In this note, we discuss principal components regression and some of the issues with it: The need for scaling. The need for pruning. The lack of “y-awareness” of the standard dimensionality reduction step. The purpose of this article is to set the stage for presenting dimensionality reduction techniques appropriate for predictive modeling, such as y-aware … Continue reading Principal Components Regression, Pt.1: The Standard Method
