Principal component analysis (PCA) is a linear dimensionality reduction technique. It reduces a multivariate dataset to a smaller set of constructed variables preserving as much information (as much variance) as possible. These variables, called principal components, are linear combinations of the input variables.

Doing PCA with $m$ vectors in $d$ dimensions and then plotting only $n$ vectors, when $n<d<m$

( [.. my vectors ..] ) pca = PCA(data) res = pca.Y matplotlib.pyplot.scatter(res[:,0], res[:,1]) But PCA just works when the number of vectors is bigger than the dimensions of the vectors: N > D. … Or would it be better to use every input vector multiple times (in my example 11 times) to do the PCA transformation? Is PCA in such a case a viable solution or should I use another MDS method? …
