StatQuest: PCA main ideas in only 5 minutes!!!

The main ideas behind PCA are actually super simple and that means it's easy to interpret a PCA plot: Samples that are correlated will cluster together apart from samples that are not correlated with them. In this video, I walk through the ideas so that you will have an intuitive sense of how PCA plots are draw. If you'd like more details, check out my full length PCA video here: • Principal Component An...

    I enjoy your videos and you are performing a valuable service. The few things I would mention that would be helpful are that PCA is really a measure of covariance in a sample and that PCA does NOT provide ANY indication of statistical significance. Understanding Covariance is helpful to really understand PCA. Also, PCA is particularly useful when patterns emerge between experimental and non-experimental parameters. If patterns associated with experimental parameters are observed (i.e. treatment conditions) it indicates that there may be changes between samples/populations that are of interest; in cases where there are patterns associated with non-experimental parameters (such as collection date or incubation conditions) it indicates that the date of collection resulted in more variance than experimental parameters. In such a case, it points to a possible flaw in experimental design so that it would be of benefit to re-evaluate sample collection/preparation/incubation etc... in the workflows to minimize the influence on the studied populations.

    Is there any rationale for choosing one method of dimension reduction over another? Or is it just trial and error? I did pca and t-sne with the iris dataset and the cluster separation looks pretty similar by eye. This is pretty remarkable as it seems that t-sne reduces everything to only 2 dimensions (as assessed by the number of Y columns in the t-sne _out list-from your example in the t-sne video). Does t-sne always reduce the number of dimensions to 2? I expected that PCA, which has more dimensions and therefore more ways to compare things, be more adept at cluster discrimination...

    StatQuest is the best! Do you have any suggestions on how to do the last step: take clusters identified visually by PCA and clearly separate them? Particularly when they're not as cleanly clustered so discrimination becomes more subjective!

    It's a good question. You could try k-means clustering.

    Thanks for your videos and work! Silly question: how do we assign the “variable” explained by PC1. So, we get the scores from The PC and they supposed to be close to 1 or -1 if they are better explaining each axis... right? By any chance you have a video explaining this? Thx!

    Great videos, In this one, I think we could have talked more about genes being the dimensions, ie. the gene1, gene2, gene3, gene4,.. of each of the cells. And with Pca we want to reduce the dimensions from say from x genes to y PCs.

    How long do you take preparing such an amazing explanation?. Everything is so clear that I can not even imagine why professors at university are not able to explain this way, after so many years of experience. Everything is so mathematical and let us say not intuitive at all, that make us think we are dumb.

    I am fan of your videos and the way you explain. Most part of this video, and more prominently after 3:52, it started appearing like the plots of cells whereas it is really the plot of Genes and Cells are the dimentions of those Genes..

    The video is correct - if you do PCA based on correlations, you start with plots of genes and end up with plots of cells. This is confusing and one of the reasons I don't think it's a good idea to teach PCA from the perspective of correlations. However, people still do it, so I have this video. However, in my opinion, an easier to understand method (because we plot cells the entire time) is the more modern approach that uses SVD and is explained in this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eJuVzbywZq6XgbQ.html
