Principal Component Analysis Course
This course teaches Principal Component Analysis for effective dimensionality reduction in data science. Participants will clean and preprocess data, select optimal components using scree plots and variance metrics, interpret loadings for business insights, apply PCA with scikit-learn in Python, and compare it to t-SNE and UMAP. Transform complex datasets into actionable segments, visuals, and models for real-world applications.
