# Factor analysis is similar to PCA but allows the user to extract a specified number of synthetic variables, fewer than the original set, leaving the remaining unexplained variation as error.

The original method is principal coordinates analysis ( based on PCA ).

This is a statutory exception to the PCA

A PCB populated with electronic components is called a printed circuit assembly ( PCA ), printed circuit board assembly or PCB Assembly ( PCBA ).

After the printed circuit board ( PCB ) is completed, electronic components must be attached to form a functional printed circuit assembly, or PCA ( sometimes called a " printed circuit board assembly " PCBA ).

Principal component analysis ( PCA ) is a mathematical procedure that uses an orthogonal transformation to convert a set of observations of possibly correlated variables into a set of values of linearly uncorrelated variables called principal components.

PCA is sensitive to the relative scaling of the original variables.

PCA is the simplest of the true eigenvector-based multivariate analyses.

If a multivariate dataset is visualised as a set of coordinates in a high-dimensional data space ( 1 axis per variable ), PCA can supply the user with a lower-dimensional picture, a " shadow " of this object when viewed from its ( in some sense ) most informative viewpoint.

PCA is closely related to factor analysis.

PCA is mathematically defined as an orthogonal linear transformation that transforms the data to a new coordinate system such that the greatest variance by any projection of the data comes to lie on the first coordinate ( called the first principal component ), the second greatest variance on the second coordinate, and so on.

The PCA transformation that preserves dimensionality ( that is, gives the same number of principal components as original variables ) is then given by:

PCA is often used in this manner for dimensionality reduction.

PCA is sensitive to the scaling of the variables.

This means that whenever the different variables have different units ( like temperature and mass ), PCA is a somewhat arbitrary method of analysis.

One way of making the PCA less arbitrary is to use variables scaled so as to have unit variance.

Mean subtraction ( a. k. a. " mean centering ") is necessary for performing PCA to ensure that the first principal component describes the direction of maximum variance.

PCA is equivalent to empirical orthogonal functions ( EOF ), a name which is used in meteorology.

An autoencoder neural network with a linear hidden layer is similar to PCA.

As might be expected given Presbyterianism's historically high esteem for education, the PCA has generally valued academic exploration more highly than revivalist traditions of evangelicalism.

While the OPC and the PCA both adhere to the Westminster Standards, the OPC is generally more strict in requiring its officers to subscribe to those standards without exception.

For example, feature extraction algorithms attempt to reduce a large-dimensionality feature vector into a smaller-dimensionality vector that is easier to work with and encodes less redundancy, using mathematical techniques such as principal components analysis ( PCA ).

The PCA is more socially and theologically conservative than the larger PC ( USA ).

* D. James Kennedy ( 1930 – 2007 ), late author, pastor, social conservative activist, and moderator of the 16th PCA General Assembly

The two differ from each other more in origin and history than doctrine, though the OPC is traditionally more conservative than the PCA in its approach to worship, government, and discipline.

The Southern Baptist Convention, Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod, the Churches of Christ, the Presbyterian Church in America ( PCA ), and the Anglican Church in North America ( ACNA ) are often considered too conservative for this category and thus grouped as evangelical.

Despite this difference there have been many strong connections with the PCA, particularly since it has moved to a more conservative theological position since 1977.

Nonlinear dimensionality reduction techniques tend to be more computationally demanding than PCA.

PCA on the other hand does not take into account any difference in class, and factor analysis builds the feature combinations based on differences rather than similarities.

While a conventional CCA generalizes principal component analysis ( PCA ) to two sets of random variables, a gCCA generalizes PCA to more than two sets of random variables.

The Presbyterian Church in America ( PCA ) is an evangelical Protestant Christian denomination in the Reformed tradition.

The Reformed Presbyterian Church, Evangelical Synod merged with the PCA in 1982.

Also in 1983, on the eve of the UPCUSA's and PCUS ' merger into the current PC ( USA ), several PCUS churches that had originally remained loyal in 1973 opted to join the PCA ( some others joined the recently-formed Evangelical Presbyterian Church, unrelated to the 1950s and 1960s body of that name ).

The PCA is a member of the North American Presbyterian and Reformed Council ( NAPARC ), an interchurch body representing traditional denominations in the Calvinist tradition.

Having been eventually defeated numerous times in the General Assembly by a coalition of the liberals and moderates from the 1960s onward, some PCUS conservatives, primarily from non-metropolitan parts of the Deep South, founded what today is the Presbyterian Church in America ( PCA ) in late 1973, formally citing its rationale as " long-developing theological liberalism which denied the deity of Jesus Christ and the inerrancy and authority of Scripture " on the part of PCUS leaders.

After the PCA congregations left, the PCUS was able to work more closely with the UPCUSA towards a merger which finally happened in 1983 as the two formed the present Presbyterian Church ( U. S. A .).

Tyers is currently active in the Presbyterian ( PCA ) church.
