Quality Metrics for Principal Components Analysis
Given the results of the PCA algorithm, data set , of eigenvalues in decreasing order, full number of principal components p and reduced number of components , the problem is to evaluate the explained variances radio and noise variance.
QualityMetricsId for the PCA algorithm is explainedVarianceMetrics.
Details
The metrics are computed given the input data meets the following requirements:
At least the largest eigenvalue is non-zero. Returns an error otherwise.
The number of eigenvalues p must be equal to the number of features provided. Returns an error if p is less than the number of features.
The PCA algorithm receives input argument eigenvalues , . It represents the following quality metrics:
Explained variance ratio
Noise variance
The library uses the following quality metrics:
