Chapter 16 Dimensionality reduction

Learning objectives:

  • Understand recipes
    • Create, prep, and bake recipes outside of a workflow to test or debug the recipes.
  • Understand dimensionality reduction techniques
    • Compare and contrast four dimensionality reduction techniques (techniques used to create a small set of features that capture the main aspects of the original predictor set):
      • Principal component analysis (PCA)
      • Partial least squares (PLS)
      • Independent component analysis (ICA)
      • Uniform manifold approximation and projection (UMAP)
    • Use dimensionality reduction techniques in conjunction with modeling techniques.
