Definition:
A dimensionality reduction technique used in machine learning to reduce the number of features while retaining most of the data’s variation.

Key Points:

  • Transforms data into principal components (new uncorrelated features)

  • Helps visualize high-dimensional data

  • Reduces overfitting and improves model performance

Applications:

  • Image compression

  • Data visualization

  • Noise reduction in datasets

Advantages:

  • Reduces computational cost

  • Removes redundant features

  • Helps in better visualization

Limitations:

  • Principal components are hard to interpret

  • May lose some important information
