A Study on Evaluation of the Characteristics Value in Principal Component Analysis

주성분분석에 의한 특성치평가에 관한 연구 - 신체검사의 예를 중심으로 -

The method of principal component analysis is originated by K. Pearson, who considered this as geometrical method Principal component analysis is the most elementary method, and this means that the information having various type of characteristics which have been correlated among themselves, are summarized by orthogonal transformations of characteristics. I: Even though we have different result whether this method is applied to homogeneous population or not. In this research we should deal with the case of homogeneous population only. II: On the other hand, we can have different result whether we start from covariance matrix or matrix of correlation- coefficients. In this research we are studying based on covariance matrix.
