What is the relationship between the eigenvalue of a component and the variance of that component in PCA?

  • It depends on the dataset
  • There is no relationship
  • They are directly proportional
  • They are inversely proportional
The eigenvalue of a component in PCA is directly proportional to the variance of that component. In other words, a larger eigenvalue corresponds to a larger amount of variance explained by that principal component.
