A Tutorial on Principal Component Analysis with the Accord.NET Framework
This is an incremental tutorial for users of the Accord.NET Framework to understand PCA implementation and discrepancies.
The paper reproduces Lindsay's Principal Component Analysis tutorial using the Accord.NET Framework to clarify its usage and compare results with other software, identifying sources of divergence in statistical analyses.
This document aims to clarify frequent questions on using the Accord.NET Framework to perform statistical analyses. Here, we reproduce all steps of the famous Lindsay's Tutorial on Principal Component Analysis, in an attempt to give the reader a complete hands-on overview on the framework's basics while also discussing some of the results and sources of divergence between the results generated by Accord.NET and by other software packages.
