Course Description

Overview

Factor extraction using PCA in Excel, R and Python

What you'll learn:
  • Use Principal Components Analysis to Extract Factors
  • Build Regression Models with Principal Components in Excel, R, Python

Factor analysis helps to cut through the clutter when you have a lot of correlated variables to explain a single effect.

This course will help youunderstand Factoranalysis and it’s link to linear regression. See how Principal Components Analysis is a cookie cutter technique to solve factor extraction and how itrelates toMachine learning .
