Title
Bayesian estimation of the number of principal components
Abstract
ABSTRACT Recently, the technique of principal component analysis (PCA) has been expressed as the maximum,likelihood solu- tion for a generative latent variable model. A central issue in PCA is choosing the number,of principal components,to re- tain. This can be considered as a problem of model selection. In this paper, the probabilistic reformulation of PCA is used as a basis for a Bayasian approach of PCA to derive a model selection criterion for determining the true dimensionality of data. The proposed criterion is similar to the Bayesian Infor- mation Criterion, BIC, with a particular goodness of fit term and it is consistent. A simulation example,that illustrates its performance,for the determination of the number,of principal components,to be retained is presented.
