Abstract

This paper proposes a tool for dimension reduction where the dimension of the original space is reduced: a Principal Loading Analysis (PLA). PLA is a tool to reduce dimensions by discarding variables. The intuition is that variables are dropped which distort the covariance matrix only by a little. Our method is introduced and an algorithm for conducting PLA is provided. Further, we give bounds for the noise arising in the sample case.
