After applying PCA to your dataset, you find that some Eigenvectors have very small corresponding Eigenvalues. What does this indicate, and what action might you take?

  • This indicates a problem with the data and you must discard it
  • This indicates that these eigenvectors capture little variance, and you may choose to discard them
  • This is an indication that PCA is not suitable for your data
  • This means that you must include these eigenvectors
Very small eigenvalues indicate that the corresponding eigenvectors capture little variance, and discarding them would reduce dimensions without losing much meaningful information.
