摘要: One traditional way to reduce the dimensionality of data is use some variant principle component analysis, a technique that permits us determine which traits are related. Nevertheless, if we wish societies most similar or different using results derived components, difficulties begin arise because, according one factor, two may be very while, another they quite similar. Other analytic problems because depend upon whether employ standard where, in effect, each factor removed before next (thus deriving orthogonal factors) type varimax factors
