Understanding and Applying Factor Analysis and PCA

PCA and Factor Analysis are two key techniques to reduce dimensionality and identify latent factors. This course, Understanding and applying factor analysis and PCA, will teach you how to apply and understand factor analysis and PCA. You'll first learn how to break through the clutter in factor analysis. Next, you will learn how to perform factor analysis using PCA. This powerful ML-based method is very effective. Next, you will learn how to perform the eigenvalue deduction, which is a standard linear algebra procedure. You'll also learn how to use PCA to explain Google stock returns in Excel, VBA, R and Python. This course will equip you with the knowledge and skills to apply factor analysis and PCA to solve complex business problems.
