Kuldeep Kumar's contribution to the Discussion of ‘Vintage Factor Analysis with Varimax Performs Statistical Inference’ by Rohe & Zeng
讨论了主成分分析与因子分析的关系,认为因子分析是PCA的分支,并质疑论文标题是否应改为“带Varimax旋转的经典PCA进行统计推断”。
Data Analysts are quite often confused between principal component analysis (PCA) and factor analysis. Both are the same data reduction techniques that are immensely helpful in big data analysis in many other areas. I personally think factor analysis is just an offshoot of PCA and as the authors have mentioned PCA with Varimax is a vintage data analysis technique. So, should the title of the paper be Vintage PCA with Varimax performing statistical inference?
