Summary

5

The trade-off for compressing your data is that you completely lose the interpretability of your original features.

4

You must always Scale your data before applying PCA.

3

PC1 captures the maximum variance (the "perfect camera angle").

2

It uses Feature Extraction, blending old columns into new, synthetic Principal Components.

1

PCA is an unsupervised dimensionality reduction technique.
