| My last entryintroduces principal component analysis (PCA), one of many unsupervised learning tools. I concluded the post with a demonstration of principal component regression (PCR), which essentially is a ordinary least squares (OLS) fit using the first $latex k &s=1$ principal components (PCs) from the predictors. This brings about many advantages: There is virtually no...
