Summarizing, it can be stated that PCA tries to represent as much as possible of the diagonal elements of the covariance matrix, whereas FA aims at reproducing the off-diagonal elements [24]. 3 is to perform a PCA – this method of estimation is called Principal Factor Analysis. , based on Maximum Likelihood, that provide more accurate models. The second source of confusion is that for spectroscopic data in particular, scientists are often trying to interpret the PCs of PCA. In that sense, they are more interested in the FA model than in the model-free transformation given by PCA.

6 Related Methods PCA is not alone in its aim to find low-dimensional representations of highdimensional data sets. Several other methods try to do the same thing, but rather than finding the projection that maximizes the explained variance, they choose other criteria. In Principal Coordinate Analysis and the related multidimensional scaling methods, the aim is to find a low-dimensional projection that reproduces the experimentally found distances between the data points. When these distances are Euclidean, the results are the same or very similar to PCA results; however, other distances can be used as well.
